LOUIS VUITTON RUNWAY-STYLE OPENWORK DRESS, WITH LEATHER TRIM AND PLEATED SKIRT SECTION
Made in France, c.2010s, fits EU 38-40 / UK 10-12

An exceptionally striking Louis Vuitton runway style dress showcasing a bold interplay of texture, structure and modern craftsmanship. The design combines openwork mesh panels with glossy leather trims and graphic vertical striping in black, khaki and vivid green, creating a dynamic, architectural silhouette. The upper section features intricate woven and perforated elements, framed by a structured ribbed and tooled leather and pvc neckline and zip fastening, while the lower portion softens into a fluid pleated skirt with a self-tie waist, offering movement and contrast to the more engineered bodice. This piece reflects the directional, experimental aesthetic associated with Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear of the 2010s, likely influenced by the house’s runway collections where technical fabrics and leatherwork were combined to dramatic effect. The label has been removed.
