Indya Moore Just Booked a Major High Fashion Job
She and Kelela have both been dubbed "friends" of this Paris-based, legacy brand.
It's truly Indya Moore's moment.
After breaking out as a member Pose's groundbreaking ensemble cast, the native New Yorker has been making a name for herself speaking out on social media and showing out on red carpets. Now, after wearing the brand on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, Moore is posing as a face of Louis Vuitton's latest lookbook alongside Kelela, Thandie Newton, Michelle Williams and more.
"These women embrace the various personalities that embody fashion at Louis Vuitton," the label's artistic director of women's collections, Nicolas Ghesquiere, said in a release about the pre-fall 2019 project. "Be they stars or new faces, all of them share the same willpower, and confidence in their choices, and at the same time, reflect the eclecticism of the female identity."
The full lookbook features 17 "Friends of the House," wearing everything from pleated skirts to oversized jumpers and preppy pussy-bow blouses. Moore's photo features here wearing layer after layer of flower printed pieces topped with a sequinned bomber. Kelela, too, wears a jacket but in an oversized green plaid.
The announcement is a pretty good sign for Moore's fashion prospects given that Vuitton is one of the largest and most respected fashion companies in the world, full stop. And as this is just the beginning of awards season, looks like we're only going up from here. Wonder what she's going to wear to the label's Cruise show in May?
