From November 18 for a month, Westfield Sydney will be home to a preview of the Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2017 Menswear Pre-Collection. Yet take it from GRAZIA, the pieces definitely all aren’t just for the gentlemen.

Louis Vuitton will be previewing its SS17 Menswear Pre-Collection range at a Sydney pop-up store from Nov 18

This season, artistic director Kim Jones once again took inspiration from his African heritage (he spent his childhood in Kenya and Botswana) and for a second time, he collaborated with the quirky visual artists the Chapman Brothers to create what could be seen as androgynous offerings. 

On our LV lust (must) list for the girls is the Damier Ebene canvas cross body bag (this sneak peek image below is an Australian exclusive to GRAZIA), which has an illustration of a rhino sitting on the pouch. We also adore the Damier Ebene canvas wallet with a cute zebra on the front.

And for the guys – there’s most definitely many on-point RTW pieces you’ll want to nab, including a blue/green/red camo shirts splashed with spots of pale pink paint. So what else will you see? A whole lot more eclectic illustrations and animations on ready-to-wear, accessories and leather goods.

And just in case you needed another reason to peruse the African-inspired pieces, Kim Jones will be attending the opening of the temporary store. Race you to the checkout….
