Where Stars Align
As the ceremony unfolded, Louis Vuitton's influence permeated the event. Guillaume Diop, the wunderkind of the Opéra National de Paris, pirouettes across the Hôtel de Ville rooftop, his movements a fluid poem in brown pleated Bermuda shorts and a shimmering beige tank top from the yet-to-be-unveiled Spring Summer 2025 collection. His feet, shod in LV Trainer sneakers, blended athleticism with avant-garde design.
In a thrilling counterpoint, Franco-Algerian rap sensation Rim'K takes center stage. His presence, commanding and electric, was amplified by a bold black-and-red checked shearling jacket – a showstopper from the Autumn-Winter 2024 line. Paired with sleek black jersey trousers and iconic monogrammed LV Trainers.
American dancer Shaheem Sanchez, a pioneer in the art of American Sign Language dance, captivates in a double-breasted, beaded copper suit. Each movement sends ripples of light cascading across the Parisian night, a visual metaphor for the breaking of barriers that defines both fashion and sport.
