Vogue France celebrates the communion of art and fashion in its December 2023/January 2024 issue. Underscoring the increasingly critical pairing of these two dominant influences in global culture, Vogue France puts model Ida Heiner on the cover, wearing a superheroine-worthy cape, custom-created for the magazine.

Celebrating a decade as artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s Women’s, Nicolas Ghesquiere’s [IG], contract was just renewed for another five years. In this cape project, Ghesquiere worked with contemporary artist Philippe Parreno [IG].

Vogue France shares an interview between the two creatives about the creation of the cape, their philosophies about working together as creatives and larger questions about this intersection of art and fashion in global culture.
