PARIS — A protester disrupted a Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris on Tuesday by walking down the catwalk with a banner condemning the impact of excessive consumption on the environment.

Carrying a sign reading “overconsumption = extinction,” the woman representing Amis de la Terre France, Youth for Climate and Extinction Rebellion marched down the same path as the models, causing a stir in the audience, a Reuters witness said.

In the front row, French cinema stars Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Huppert hardly flinched, while some members of the Arnault clan, seated next to LVMH chief executive officer and chairman Bernard Arnault, glanced at each other.

The protester was wrestled to the ground by security before being led away.

GLORIA STEINEM

When Gloria Steinem sat down to write an essay for Louis 200, the feminist activist, organizer, and author began where she always has throughout her six-decade career: with a yellow legal pad. “I start that way, and then once I’ve written a certain amount, I usually transfer it to what was the typewriter and now is a computer,” she says. “There’s something about the physical connection of your hand and the page that to me is still more personal than passing your words through a word processor.” This time, Steinem got to skip the transcription phase after the Louis Vuitton team suggested using her lined sheet of paper to wrap a scaled-down trunk. In her essay, which begins, “I’ve learned that baggage is biography,” Steinem recounts how a life spent on the road—from her early adventures backpacking in India after graduating from college to years spent traveling around the world for speaking engagements as a leading voice in the women’s rights movement—has taught her that, in many ways, we are what we carry. Her minimalist packing list consists of a daily uniform of black pants and top and a change of belt to mix things up. “We as human beings had traveling cultures long before we had settled ones,” says Steinem. “There were bands of people following the seasons and the animals. Travel is in our genes.”

NIGO

“The act of wrapping something demonstrates respect for the recipient,” explains Tokyo-based designer, DJ, and cultural entrepreneur Nigo of the inspiration for his Louis 200 trunk, which comes with a custom logo slipcover. “It is a way of showing my respect for Louis Vuitton.” The founder of pioneering streetwear labels BAPE and Human Made, Nigo teams with Louis Vuitton men’s artistic director Virgil Abloh on drops of tweaked Americana staples, like a denim jacket in two different stonewashed fabrics featuring the iconic LV Monogram and Damier Giant motif. For the Louis 200 project, Nigo decided to focus on the connections between Louis Vuitton and Japan. “The influence that Europe and Japan had on each other during the Azuchi-Momoyama [1568–1600] and Edo [1603–1868] periods was substantial,” he says, pointing to the similarities between Louis Vuitton’s Damier check and ichimatsu, a repeating pattern of alternating dark and light squares that in Japanese culture represents prosperity. Nigo took cues for his trunk from gift-wrapped traditional Japanese sweets. “I created a cover with actual fabric and applied the print to it using a silk screen,” he says. “The fabric is one used for the curtains of my atelier.”
