LOUIS VUITTON

CRUISE 2017 SHOW

Louis Vuitton is set to present its much-anticipated cruise 2017 collection at Oscar Niemeyer’s Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. Despite the possibility of contracting the Zika virus, the Hollywood and fashion set don't seem too worried, as A-listers including Alicia Vikander, Catherine Deneuve, Jaden Smith, Zendaya, Doona Bae, Rainie Yang, Alessandra Ambrosio, Isabeli Fontana and Tao Okamoto are among the guests confirmed for the front row.

This is the first time the flying-saucer-shaped museum will host a fashion show. The white modernist structure is reflected in the pool's base, designed to look "like a flower," according to late artist Niemeyer. "This setting inspired me right away," said artistic director Nicolas Ghesquiere. "With the 2017 cruise collection, we’ll be discovering the vision of Oscar Niemeyer." The museum is celebrating its 20-year anniversary and will reopen soon after the LV presentation. Four Louis Vuitton-sponsored exhibitions will be shown at the museum this year.
