For months, the fashion world has been counting down to Nicolas Ghesquière's Louis Vuitton debut, which finally arrived with his Fall 2014 runway collection at the Cour Carree during Paris Fashion Week.

The beloved designer showed his stunning collection to a crowd of famous faces like LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, Princess Charlene of Monaco, Catherine Deneuve and Jean Paul Gaultier, amongst others.

With a '60s silhouette dominating the 48 look collection, the designer gave the retro-inspired pieces a modern edge with impeccible craftsmanship using lots of leather and suede.
