Louis Vuitton Catwalk Titled “Children's Playground” at Paris Fashion Week

Louis Vuitton in collaboration with studio PlayLab Inc created a catwalk with the concept of a large-scale playground.

Located in Carré du Louvre, Paris, PlayLab Inc creates a catwalk with a children's playground theme. Designed with a shape that resembles a children's race track surrounded by large balloons to bring the catwalk concept into the Spring-Summer 2023 menswear collection. The large-scale race track in bright yellow contrasts with the background of the building. 360-degree circular path to bring fantasy to life.

The large red balloon design emblazoned with the Louis Vuitton logo is intended as an identity and accentuates the childish theme throughout the catwalk area. The green staircase which also evokes the feel of a children's playground contrasts with the yellow color on the race track as a manifestation of childhood dreams and shows the joy during the event.

The concept of playing is intended to trace back to what Abloh had described as a child who was not familiar with gadgets. Free play is a trusted place to spark creativity. Overall, the design of the catwalk, which carries the theme of a children's playground, is designed to commemorate Abloh's childhood toys.

“Giant children's toys become a yellow brick path to the imagination: the evolutionary pathway of the mind in which childlike fantasies come to life. It is the transition from rising to subtle that’s reflected in the collection that elevates childhood through the savoir-faire Maison,” said Louis Vuitton.
