Zaho De Sagazan: Louis Vuitton's Voice of Paris 2024

At the highly anticipated closing closing was a performance by Zaho De Sagazan, a rising star in the French music scene and a cherished Friend of the House. Draped in a Louis Vuitton dress, De Sagazan's rendition of Édith Piaf's "Sous le Ciel de Paris" was transcendent. Her black ensemble, crafted from jersey and tulle, was paired with a fluid white silk skirt with dramatic ruffles—the embodiment of Parisian chic. The intricate interplay of textures between the jersey bodysuit and flowing silk skirt exemplifies Nicolas Ghesquière’s mastery of contrasts at Louis Vuitton.
