LOUIS VUITTON
Women’s Fall-Winter 2020 Fashion Show
In March 2020, just before the world shifted, Thomas had the privilege of serving as Executive Music Producer for the Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2020 collection runway show, a collaboration with Nicolas Ghesquière at the iconic Louvre in Paris. This project, titled 'Three Hundred and Twenty', was a monumental undertaking, blending the worlds of high fashion and high art.

Orchestra: The Odyssey Symphony Orchestra, conducted by André de Ridder
Choir Costumes: Milena Canonero (Oscar-winning designer)

A Fusion of Art Forms:
This production was more than just a fashion show; it was a performance art piece. The choir, adorned in costumes designed by the legendary Milena Canonero, seamlessly integrated with Es Devlin's unique set design and Francisco Negrin's visionary stage direction. The live performance by choir Sequenza and The Odyssey Symphony Orchestra, conducted by André de Ridder, resonated through the Louvre, creating a powerful synergy between the music, the fashion, and the venue.
Executive Production Excellence:
As Executive Music Producer, Thomas’s role was to ensure that the musical vision was executed flawlessly. This involved working closely with the composers, sourcing the conductor, the vocal ensemble, the orchestra, and coordinating with the entire production team to deliver a seamless and impactful performance. This project stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the transformative potential of music in a live event.
