December 18, on this matter.LOUIS VUITTONThe official announcement was made by The content of the announcement was to acknowledge the collaboration between the two companies and to launch a capsule collection as part of the Fall/Winter 2020 pre-collection.
It will be called the "Louis Vuitton LV Squared Collection," and will include a wide range of clothing, leather goods, shoes, and accessories. Expectations are high as the designs are a fusion of the two men's approaches and a reinterpretation of Louis Vuitton's signature.
NIGO® has collaborated with Louis Vuitton since 2005, when he created sunglasses. In fact, a pair of sunglasses based on the ones from that time was presented in Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2019-20 men's collection. This may have been a sign of things to come.
This is an attempt unique to Virgil, who strongly respects the Tokyo street scene, starting with Urahara, and continues to overturn stereotypes in fashion. Although images of the items have not yet been released, we have a feeling that it will be comparable to the Louis Vuitton x Supreme brand. Let's look forward to further news.
