How to say fabulous in Portugese? Simply, “fabuloso”. And how else describe our latest adventures south of the Equator as we travelled to wondrous Rio de Janeiro for Nicolas Ghesquiere’s Louis Vuitton Cruise 2017 show. Obv it was a stunner. And, dear readers, for those of those not lucky enough to be shipped off, all expenses paid, we have collated this photo diary of the Brazilian extravaganza. Blow by pleasurable blow…
Day 1
“Cruising in Rio. Could think of worse ways to spend the weekend. Because isn’t it a beauty? We’re here for Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2017 show, taking place at the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum tomorrow. Bursting with excitement…”

“Oscar Niemeyer once said that the curves of his concrete building were intended to mimic “the curves that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean, and on the body of the beloved woman.” So, Brazil and booty combined to inspire buildings like, say, the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, used as the backdrop to Nicolas Ghesquiere’s 2017 Cruise show for Louis Vuitton (read our full review of the show here)”
