At Louis Vuitton's fashion show in Paris, designer Nicolas Ghesquière showcased futuristic designs influenced by climate change, noting that "the world is getting warmer." The event took place on an unseasonably warm evening with temperatures reaching 24C, and the catwalk was set within the Louvre courtyard.
