A tribute to the gothic beauty of Avignon and the spirit of travel that has always inspired Louis Vuitton. On May 22, 2025, the French Maison of LVMH will present the Cruise 2026 collection at the Palais des Papes

Fashion meets history, and it does so with the timeless elegance of <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-must-have-bags-and-accessories-from-the-autumn-winter-2025-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a> . The French Maison's Cruise 2026 show will be held on May 22, 2025 in the majestic setting of the Palais des Papes in Avignon , in the heart of Provence. An event that promises to be not only a celebration of style, but also a tribute to the cultural and architectural richness of the region.
This new stage in the creative journey signed by <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-autumn-winter-2024-cllection-nicolas-ghesquiere-pfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re</a> , Artistic Director of women's collections, once again confirms the Maison's vocation to blend fashion, art and territory. The choice of the Palais des Papes - a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site - underlines the profound link between the Cruise Louis Vuitton collection and the spirit of travel, discovery and cultural identity.

The Palace of the Popes, a monumental stage for Louis Vuitton

With its 15,000 square meters and its 25 rooms open to the public, the Palace of the Popes is the largest Gothic palace in the West. Its grandeur and refinement will be the exceptional theater for a collection that, as per tradition, promises to amaze with bold cuts, artisanal details and international suggestions. The Cruise 2026 show is part of a well-established path for Louis Vuitton, which has already presented collections in extraordinary locations such as the Miho Museum by IM Pei in Japan, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum in Brazil, the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence and the Salk Institute in California. And as always, the chosen space becomes an integral part of the narrative of the Vuitton collection.

Fashion, culture and commitment: the contribution to the city of Avignon

True to its philosophy of valorizing local heritage , Louis Vuitton will make a concrete contribution to the host city by financing an ambitious architectural lighting project . The intervention will concern the facades of the Palais des Papes and the surrounding buildings – including the Cathedral, the Petit Palais and the Hôtel des Monnaies – improving the enjoyment and safety of the area, and restoring new light to one of the most fascinating historic centers in Europe. The Cruise show is also part of the broader “Terre de culture 2025” program, which celebrates the cultural vitality of Avignon on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Among the events on the calendar, the exhibition “ OTHONIEL COSMOS, ou les Fantômes de l&#39;Amour ” stands out, which from June 2025 to January 2026 will occupy ten historic sites in the city with over 250 works by the artist Jean-Michel Othoniel.

After the exclusive event on May 22, the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2026 collection will be available from November 2025 in the brand&#39;s boutiques around the world. An invitation to take the spirit of the South of France with you everywhere, between Gothic art, enchanted landscapes and avant-garde tailoring.
