The collection arrives in two chromatic worlds. Monogram Infrarouge pushes toward deeper, higher-contrast shades, while Monogram Dune takes its cues from softer desert tones. Each includes an LV Ombres eyeshadow palette, LV Rouge lipstick and LV Baume lip balm, with refillable components designed to keep the cases in circulation beyond a single product cycle.
The collaboration also formalizes a creative relationship that has existed for years. Pat McGrath has created runway beauty for Louis Vuitton for more than two decades, while Nicolas Ghesquière has shaped the house’s womenswear since 2013. This time, runway dialogue becomes an actual beauty object.
The collection extends beyond cosmetics into lipstick pouches, Mini Vanities and Monogram-covered blotting papers, turning a beauty launch into another expression of Louis Vuitton’s travel and leather-goods heritage.
That expansion reveals what makes the launch more interesting than a standard makeup collaboration. Louis Vuitton is taking one of luxury’s most recognisable visual assets and teaching it to live across another category entirely. The Monogram once marked trunks, then bags, clothing and accessories. Beauty now gives it a surface small enough to fit inside a handbag and personal enough to touch the face.
At 130, the motif found another life inside La Beauté Louis Vuitton.
