Fabolous Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Don Anthracite | Fall Winter 2023 Collection

Creative collective

Fabolous Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Don Anthracite by a community of creatives, whose individualities, talents and experiences converge in the ongoing artistic dialogues that unfold on its runways. The Fall-Winter 2023 Men’s Collection builds on this foundation in the curation of a creative collective. Designed by the Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme, the collection is embedded with the ideas and concepts of the American designer Colm Dillane, while the show design and its cinematic prelude are directed by the French filmmakers Michel Gondry and Olivier Gondry.

Louis Vuitton 2005 pre-owned monogram multicolour Lift crossbody bag Kamara and the Ukrainian creative director Lina Kutsovskaya, both longtime collaborators of the Maison. Joined by the Spanish singer Rosalía, who serves as musical curator and performs during the show, the band of creatives activate a connectivity founded in the cornerstones of the Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme: the belief that the pillars of Louis Vuitton – creatorship, craftsmanship and showmanship – have the power to move, connect and unite its audiences around the globe.

Louis Lifewear

Connected by their shared experiences – from the commonplace to the life-changing – the Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme detects in the formative premise of the collection the adolescent feeling of wanting, or sometimes having, to grow up fast. The experience – re-evoked whenever momentous events happen later in life – materialises in a mock-mature tailoring silhouette reminiscent of a young man’s idea of paternal masculinity.

Loosely founded in the Studio’s own mostly millennial memories of that look, it cuts a boxy yet fluid line likewise projected in work- and sportswear: a traditionally ‘manly’ shape imbued with the spirit of Louis Vuitton pre-owned LockIt tote bag the checks that epitomise the adult sartorial look, some computerised as if seen through the 1990s lens of the first digital-generation Louis Vuitton pre-owned Vernis Sarah wallet over garments, a figurative notion echoed in generationally relatable written-word sentiments: ‘blurry vision of a bright future’ and ‘FANTASTIC FUTURE?_’

Digital footprints

The collection’s focus on the computerised generation and human connection triggers an idea of the imprints we leave in life: the impact we have on the people around us and the evidence – whether digital, physical or emotional – that documents the existence of our character and influence.

Next to the collection’s computerised motifs, the study manifests in Louis Vuitton 2006 pre-owned monogram Lockit Horizontal tote bag from fragments of leather printed with scans of real letters written by members of the Studio in the multitude of languages of their nationalities. The notion of what remains is further interpreted in a knitted suit imagined with Colm Dillane, the yarns of which unravel stitch by stitch as it moves through Michel Gondry and Olivier Gondry’s building of life, leaving behind a trace of documentation. Nods to the age of connectivity are further explored in camera bags that film their surroundings as they are carried down the runway.
