In 2024, the visionary creative director celebrates a decade of ultra-chic styles, iconic runway shows, and unforgettable additions to the Louis Vuitton archive.

Throughout his time at Louis Vuitton, creative director <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/nicolas-ghesquiere-louis-vuitton-anniversary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re</a> has created a lasting impact within the fashion industry, rivaling even some of the most iconic names in history. Although his years at the helm of Balenciaga were memorable to be sure, the youthful, yet effortlessly chic flair he has brought to the Louis Vuitton runways has sparked widespread trends, redefined modern dressing, and brought the Maison to unimaginable new heights.&nbsp;
The designer's first collection for the French luxury label marked a momentous occasion, and to celebrate it, Ghesqui&egrave;re introduced a handbag that has quickly become a modern classic among fans of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-cruise-2025-collection-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a> bags and casual onlookers alike. The GO-14 bag, a triumph of the label's historically renowned leather-working, is a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/quilted-trend-fall-2024-prada-dior-bottega" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quilted</a> leather handbag that has since been reinvented in tons of new colorways and fabrics, but has remained a staple of the Maison's seasonal offerings. Perfect for showy runway appearances and everyday use alike, Ghesqui&egrave;re brought a powerful new vision of feminity when it comes to accessories that has been echoed in each and every collection since.&nbsp;

Another now-legendary piece to join the family of classically revered Louis Vuitton <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/shoulder-bags-shop-summer-dior-fendi-prada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bags</a> is the Coussin bag&mdash;a quilted mid-size leather LV bag featuring a sleek chain-linked strap. Now available in a variety of finishes, colors, and sizes, the Coussin proves the timeless allure of a quilted handbag, whether the wearer opts for a statement piece, as seen in recent <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/barrel-leg-jeans-shopping-guide-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denim</a>-outfitted releases, or classic neutral-toned leather, as seen on the runway when it first debuted.&nbsp;
