According to an article in the New York Times, the Louis Vuitton show was directly inspired by the designer, Kim Jones's childhood in Africa. Evidence of this was seen through the smattering of Masai scarves, bright colours and even exotic skin
Tim Blanks said, writing for style.com, that "like Beard [photographer Peter Beard], the consummate WASP gone native, the collection ran a gamut from city suits to tribal textures. A Masai blanket Jones has at home as a souvenir of his East African childhood inspired an extraordinary passage of cornea-searing blue-and-red plaids. Wild alligator was tamed in a jacket paired with pajama-striped pants. Crocodile was revisited as a varsity jacket with sleeves in navy cotton canvas. There were gold and navy tops in shimmering raffia."
Kim Jones was brought up in Kenya, and the London stylist-designer, chose to embrace this history via Louis Vuitton's pedigreed travel history.
