Louis Vuitton's Satellite View - NYTimes.com Louis Vuitton, by Kim Jones, autumn/winter 2014, in Paris. Guillaume Roujas/Nowfashion.com PARIS - "It was digital travel - online, via satellites - NASA's maps from outer space," said Kim Jones, the designer of the sky blue, all-embracing runway that was the backdrop for the Louis Vuitton show on Thursday. When two powerful men's wear minds - Mr. Jones and Stefano Pilati for Zegna, in Milan - both focus on a satellite view of fashion, it becomes more than a one-show wonder. The Vuitton version was about as good as it gets. There were times, as when a piercing blue sweater appeared on the runway or when the models hugged space-age silver bags, when the show seemed to move to another planet. Yet while the clouds raced above the glass ceiling of the Citroën showroom in Paris and the runway's satellite vision of the Andes seemed to hurl the audience toward Machu Picchu, the clothes stayed comfortably on the ground. The show opened with border-striped cashmere coats, slung over what Mr. Jones called "travel suits," for those who have to take an airplane rather than intergalactic transport. Mirrored sunglasses, throwing back reflections of front-row guests like the Chinese film star Chang Chen, Will Smith and the British singer Lily Allen, were another spacey element. So were the models" rock crystal necklet or lapel pin. Whether it be an actual trip or just a mental one, Mr. Jones is a master at journeying to the further reaches - but bringing the look back home. To contrast with the icy colors, his sweaters might have a furry chest or a parka in a rich wine red. And in what must have been a nod to the fashionable "onesies," or jumpsuits, he created a "travel suit" in super-soft vicuña, with the top tucked under the elastic belt of narrow pants. Hiker boots might be good for mountain climbing, but they were also easy wear for back home. Even a sleek Vuitton wheeled bag seemed modern and desirable. With "Gravity" one of the hot films of the season, Mr. Jones was right on target with a collection that embraced an outer space world yet had so many streamlined and desirable pieces for planet earth.
