Louis Vuitton
This was the first collection since Virgil Abloh’s death last year produced without him by his design team, but his influence was keenly felt throughout. From the Florida A&M University marching band that opened the show and the soundtrack performed live by Kendrick Lamar, to the loop-the-loop yellow brick road runway that nodded to his first collection in 2018, its shape completing the infinite circle of his legacy. Familiar design tropes like a paper plane covered suit and poppy field embellishments were ticked off. Louis Vuitton will announce Abloh’s successor in the autumn.
