Nicolas Ghesquière On Making Custom Louis Vuitton For Robyn’s New Video

It’s a relationship that’s flown relatively under the radar, but Swedish popstar Robyn and Louis Vuitton’s artistic director of women’s collections Nicolas Ghesquière actually go way back. Ghesquière has consistently pulled from Robyn’s discography to soundtrack his shows, starting from his tenure at Balenciaga, and more recently with Louis Vuitton. “Monument”, Robyn’s song with Norwegian duo Röyksopp, comprised part of the score of the French house’s Resort 2015 collection in Monaco, and “Indestructible”, from her instant classic album Body Talk, resounded from inside the impressive Miho Museum outside Kyoto at the brand’s Resort 2018 show.

For Robyn’s new “Ever Again” video from her recently released album Honey, the two teamed up in even more overt fashion: Ghesquière designed the silk blouse that Robyn slowly but surely unties over the course of the video to reveal a semi-sheer embossed latex jumpsuit.

“I have been a fan of Robyn’s music for a long time and getting to know her, I was struck by her talent as an artist,” Ghesquière comments on the artist. “I’m glad we were able to collaborate for the clip of “Ever Again”, a song that I love.” The outfit they designed together perfectly blends in with the video’s surroundings – if it weren’t for Robyn’s signature dance moves, she’d look just like one of the Grecian statues that surrounds her. It’s a collaboration that’s been a long time coming, in a sense, but it was clearly well worth the wait.
