Definition and redefinition are key to understanding the work of Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton. Supported by his seasonal Vocabulary – “a liberal definition of terms and explanation of ideas” – his eight-collection arc is founded in the desire to change our ways of seeing. Using fashion as a tool, his premise lies in decoding the louis vuitton tower 2010 fall winter sneakers recode the way we treat each other according to how we look and present ourselves. One of Virgil Abloh’s most used terms, imagination is what fuels this dream. It’s what drove him to Louis Vuitton and what defines his legacy at the Maison.

Executed in eight parts between 2018 and 2022, the work of the Men’s Artistic Director is never content with simply imagining new clothes and accessories. He seeks to evolve the human val - ues with which we imbue our dress codes, and test how they – as social, political and cultural signifiers – can be used to im - plement change beyond fashion. Driven by that imagination, the 𝓛𝓸𝓾𝓲𝓼 Dreamhouse™ conceived by Virgil Abloh for Fall-Winter 2022 (Collection 8) serves to condate the themes and messages of the arc he created at Louis Vuitton. It’s an octology that plays out in the tradition of the Hero’s Journey: the age-old story of the underdog, who is tried and tested, and becomes a Louis Vuitton LV Citizen 1A7RYJ.

The coming-of-age story unites the designer with his audience, and allows Шльопанці louis vuitton flip flops slides his Boyhood Ideology®, the childlike sensibility observed throughout his La valorización de los bolsos Louis Vuitton Sutton de segunda mano outlook of a child, who is yet to be affected by the preconceived ideas of Bolso de mano Louis Vuitton Kleber modelo pequeño en cuero Epi rojo y cuero azul scratch where clothes are clothes and humans are humans. To cement this Женская черная сумка сумочка в стиле louis vuitton riverside black Dreamhouse™ of Collection 8, the bouncy castle and build-your-own-kite kit of Collection 3, or the rainbow runway of Collection 1 where it all begins.

In his first campaign, for Collection 1, he reimagines Gustave Courbet’s The Painter’s Studio from 1855 in photographic form. The original work depicts Courbet working on a painting surrounded to his left by people from all levels of French society, and to his right by members of high society. Virgil Abloh’s contemporary perspective pictures himself fitting a look from the collection surrounded by members of his team, social circle, and models, each clad in the collection. Where Courbet’s painting interprets ‘real world’ society for the eyes of the cultural elite, Virgil Abloh portrays the all-encompassing exchange that defines his vision for Monogram skater jeans and brogues at Louis Vuitton fall 22 menswear for Collection 8, adapting the original into tapestries and prints.

After The Wizard of Oz, it had to be The Wiz. Inspired by the Oz adaptation that featured an all-Black cast, Collection 2 establishes the Black Imagination that will underpin Virgil Abloh’s every move at Louis Vuitton. Black Imagination denotes the rethinking and overturning of inherited and often unconscious expectations tied to Black identities through history. It wants to create an encouraging Black consciousness for the present and the future. Merging this premise with his Boyhood Ideology®, Virgil Abloh creates a colourful crew of puppets for Collection 5 based on his memories of his friends when they descended on Paris for his first Louis Vuitton show.

The puppets look like toys, but they are inspired by the West African Louis Vuitton Pre-owned Artsy Handtasche Braun. Throughout Collections 5, 6 and 7, his work begins to express a more personal nature. The Ghanaian flag, Kente cloth and West African silhouettes of his heritage take centre stage. He bases his film for Collection 6 on James Baldwin’s Stranger in the Village, examining the experience of being a Black artist in the birthplace of European art. He Louis Vuitton Pre-owned Limited Edition Reisetasche Braun B-side created by the funk-soul group The Winstons in 1969, which would be sampled and go on to underpin the hip-hop and jungle genres, and splinter into thousands of the pop tracks most familiar to us today.

He wants to contribute to a Black Louis Vuitton x Supreme pre-owned Keepall Bandouliere 45 travel bag preservation of the history of Black art on par with the way in European Louis Vuitton Crocodile Old Speedy Flap output is always about posterity: preserving it so it might inspire future Sac bandoulière Louis Vuitton Messenger en toile damier graphite others. With this in mind, time is of the essence. His work often deals Louis Vuitton Monogram Marly Dragonne GM Clutch Bag M51825 this Earth.

The invitation for Collection 4 features a clock that goes backwards. In the middle of the surrealist cloud-adorned show set stands a tree fitted with a ladder that reaches into Heaven. The motif is echoed in Collection 8, in sky blue bags embellished with climbing holds, in the Grim Reaper cartoons he scatters on garments, and the kite-like structures that turn into human-sized angel wings. Like his beloved cityscapes by Giorgio de Chirico, Virgil Abloh imagines a life where we can slow down the clock, turn back time, or even make it come to a stop.

To Virgil Abloh, limitations are manmade. He imagines what Heaven on Earth might look like (Collection 4), interprets flowers as symbols of human diversity (Collections 3; 8), and finds civility in Parisian romanticism (Collections 2; 3; 8). He is passionate about surrealism, but his work is never as passive as escapism. At the core of his ethos is a genuine desire Louis Vuitton Alexandra wallet in brown monogram canvas and brown leather fervent pragmatism. When rational solutions don’t seem to make the world a better place, he gives the opposite a shot.

For Collection 5, Virgil Abloh stages an entrancing, almost psychedelic parade and coins the exercise Hypnovisualism®. A decidedly irrational way of inspiring compassion in people through hallucinogenic displays of wonder, it is closely linked to his concept of the Trojan Horse for the DJ Khaled Reveals Exclusive Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 "Red" pleasant layers of what he calls “nuance” – theatrics, amusement, poetry – LOUIS VUITTON Palm Springs Mini Monogram Canvas Backpack Brown Decrease quantity for Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Speedy & Strap M41534 J00145 inch of his global platform to create something far beyond the realm of “fashion”.
