After all, fashion is part of the foundation of the French economy and its heritage, and Louis Vuitton played an extraordinary role in both.
Emmanuel Macron’s victory in Sunday’s presidential election in France is not just a victory for the vision of the young French president. And his role in the world, or centrism against the far right, though both.
It was also a triumph for fashion, particularly haute couture, and its role in reflecting French culture and heritage worldwide. When in doubt, think of Brigitte Macron’s team for election night. A navy blue Louis Vuitton jacket tailored with silver military details and matching trousers. Perfectly paired with her husband’s navy blue suit a choice that also reflects the pairing of the US united front as an ideological battlefield. Where the election fell, and it is a subtle signal from a government focused on big business. And free markets that the relationship will continue to thrive in the second term.
After all, luxury has lost ground to Emmanuel Macron since his first presidential nomination in 2017. Also, Louis Vuitton has been his wife’s choice since she became First Lady.
Although she wears other French labels, including Balmain (whose designer Olivier Rustin released a statement praising Macron’s re-election). And Alexandre Vauthier, neither is seen in her public wardrobe as often as Louis Vuitton. Instead, she wore Vuitton in many of her most performative moments moments. That are sure to be preserve visually for history. When she served as a representative for herself or her husband and the country at large.
She wore a Vuitton (suit with a light blue miniskirt and another military-inspired jacket) for her husband’s first inauguration in 2017. Vuitton celebrations ahead of Bastille Day in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Moreover, Vuitton for state dinners at home and abroad. Including the 2018 state dinner hosted by President Donald Trump in Macron’s honor. The number of times she has vote for Vuitton can be followed on the Instagram account @thebrigittestyle dedicate to her style.
