A celebration of Virgil Abloh’s spiritual and stylistic legacy
Despite Virgil Abloh’s passing in November of last year, the late American designer’s spirit could be felt in full force at today's Louis Vuitton’s Autumn/Winter 2022 menswear show. Shown in the enormous, airy space of La Carreau du Temple in Paris, the collection was a poetic, mournful ode that included dancing, a live orchestral band and plenty of angelic, all-white looks.
Here, ahead of Alexander Fury’s Collections Digest, we give you five takeaways from the spectacular show – from the transcendent set to the joyful overtones.Over the course of Abloh’s tenure at Louis Vuitton, wildly fantastical backdrops to his shows became the norm – from a vast rainbow runway at his very first show to imagining a literal heaven on Earth for A/W20.
The collection reflected on all Abloh has created over the arc of his eight seasons at the house, and in the spirit of the late designer’s out-of-the-box approach, the show felt much more like a performance – and an immersion into Abloh’s dream world – than a typical runway show. With a near-equal number of dancers and models, the cast interacted with the set throughout: dancers bounced off trampolines built into the floor while models moved through the “dream house” in packs of twos and threes.
