Louis Vuitton has unveiled the final collection by its late artistic director of menswear, Virgil Abloh
The collection -- Abloh's eighth since his groundbreaking appointment to the 168-year-old house in 2018 -- was revealed Thursday at Paris Fashion Week in a repeat format: first for press and influencers, then, a few hours later, for friends and family.
Over a Zoom call from Paris, Kamara spoke candidly about the process ."We wanted to keep it where we thought Virgil was with us, but push it to where Virgil would've taken it," he said."One of the most brilliant things about the man was that he could introduce starkly new ideas every season, but that these ideas also intertwined with seasons from the past."David M.
Abloh also retained an ongoing fascination with dreams, youthfulness and the concept -- often abstract -- of home, and the set of Thursday's show reflected a mashup of all of it. The presentation was staged in a surreal periwinkle dreamscape, complete with a full orchestra performing from an extended dining room table to a score by rapper Tyler the Creator. There was a semi-sunken house, a Shaker-esque chair that collapsed and righted itself, and a king-size bed.
