The "Louis Vuitton LV Squared Collection," which has been the talk of the town everywhere we go, has finally been unveiled.
The Louis Vuitton LV Squared Collection is a collection ofLOUIS VUITTONVirgil Abloh, Men's Artistic Director of NIGO®, approached NIGO® to collaborate on this project.
The base of the collection is the mods that spread from London in the 1960's. This is reinterpreted through the filter of Tokyo. Reinterpreted through the filter of Tokyo, the capsule collection is reminiscent of the early chapters of NIGO®'s career, inspired by the local culture. Rounding out the collection of ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, and accessories is a modification of the Louis Vuitton signature. The "Damier" collection is much larger than the in-line collection, and the "Monogram" collection is a forbidden design work that crosses the "Damier" line with the "Monogram" line. Many rivals must have been disappointed.
The "squared" on the butt means squared. In other words, we are proud to say that this collaboration is not an addition, but a multiplication, which is rather an extremely modest assessment.
In this article, Virgil Abloh attempts to explain the collaboration with the term "heteropollination. Heteroflowering refers to the pollination of a plant's pollen by the pistils of a different plant. It is a survival strategy to maintain genetic diversity. The two of them worked together to create heterofloral pollination, and indeed, they brought about a wonderful diversity of plants. I do not think it is too much to say that it is not squared, but even squared to the power of ten or even a hundred.
If you want to enjoy the world of the "Louis Vuitton LV Squared Collection," wait for the installation that is steadily being prepared. For the first time in Louis Vuitton's history (!!), the installation will be unveiled in a flagship store specializing in men's wear.
