THERE WERE TIMES when I found it difficult to write about Louis Vuitton post-Virgil Abloh. Abloh broke down barriers that held up the luxury world for aeons, and introduced a revolutionary fashion movement that transcended tradition. It is an understatement to say he was a visionary like no other.
Abloh was culture and still is even after his passing.
For the two years following his absence, traces of his creativity were still present over each collection, a testament to his impact.
