The military-inspired look, vivid color palette, and modern typography are the very essence of Virgil Abloh. This is Virgil Abloh at his best.
Virgil's handLOUIS VUITTONThe first collection of the "M" series is particularly sharp in its accessories collection.
The psychedelic bandana with a 3D logo, the rainbow stole, the pure white cat eye shaped sunglasses...all of them are in Virgil's style of sublimating street fashion into luxury. In each case, Virgil's style of sublimating the street into luxury is carried through.
The reason why we can easily accept this collection is, of course, because it captures the sense of the times, but above all, it conveys a stance that does not forget to respect. The typography printed on the instep of the glove, for example, consists of the year of its founding (1854), the address of its headquarters (Pont Neuf), a hammer (an important tool for trunk makers), and a portrait of its founder. It is like a history book of Louis Vuitton, and the love for this long-established store is overflowing.
Many media outlets have reported on this beautiful story, but at the end of the show, when Virgil saw his friend Kanye West in the front row, he burst into tears and gave him a passionate embrace.
It was only the sense of accomplishment of being able to fully exercise his skills in the "coveted" maison that provoked a somewhat troubling emotion in the big man.
