Closing out Paris Fashion Week, Louis Vuitton's runway show was set inside a museum within a museum. Put on by artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière, the fashion brand recreated the Centre Pompidou inside the Louvre, transporting Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers' multi-colored piping and other iconic features to a great glass box at the historic museum's Cour Carrée.

Mr. Ghesquière was inspired by the way the revolutionary building, the design for which was heavily criticized at the time, has become a distinctive symbol of the city. He told the Guardian, "it has become central to Paris, to culture, to young people, to everyone who loves the future. Your eye gets used to something, and your tastes evolved and change.”

Like the Pompidou, Louis Vuitton is pushing on the boundaries of taste this season, sending down a collection of awkward pairing and visually jarring shapes. Done in collaboration with La Mode En Image, the international agency known for its transformative set designs and event productions, the modern art museum's architectural elements created an impressive setting for celebrating the unconventionally beautiful at Paris Fashion Week.
