ODE TO ABLOH

For Louis Vuitton Men's Autumn/Winter 2022 collection, the late Virgil Abloh consolidated the themes and messages in the eighth and final chapter in his arc for the brand.

If there's one lesson that the titan of the fashion industry Virgil Abloh has left behind for his fans, it's that it definitely pays to dream big. The late designer's final menswear collection for Louis Vuitton embodies the dreamscape world of a child's euphoric innocence and surrealism. Named the Louis Dreamhouse, the set featured a white half-sunken building complete with a giant bed, a long banquet table. The show began with poetic words spoken by Kai Isaiah Jamal, a South London poet, activist and the first black trans model to walk for Louis Vuitton, followed by dancers moving eamlessly about the stage to an expressive orchestral performance.
