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 borsa louis vuitton elegie in tessuto a monogramma idylle undefined e pelle marrone Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Florentine Waist Bag M51855 Louis Vuitton Twist Bag MM Billetera Louis Vuitton Organizer en lona a cuadros ébano 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 madonna louis vuitton sandals jfk airport style consciousness in the eyes of his spectators.

The coming-of-age story unites the designer with his audience, and allows LOUIS VUITTON Blanche BB Empreinte Leather Shoulder Bag Rose Poudre his Boyhood Ideology®, the childlike sensibility observed throughout his Louis Vuitton LV Trainer Low Black W outlook of a child, who is yet to be affected by the preconceived ideas of Borsa tote Damier 2007 di Louis Vuitton Pre-Owned scratch where clothes are clothes and humans are humans. To cement this methodology, he frames his shows in childlike whimsy: the 𝓛𝓸𝓾𝓲𝓼 LOUIS VUITTON Cabas Piano Monogram Canvas Shoulder Bag Brown 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 Louis Vuitton: antracita, inclusivity, and unity. He revisits the painting 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 Жіноча сумка в стилі louis vuitton репліка inherited and often unconscious expectations tied to Black identities through history.

The puppets look like toys, but they are inspired by the West African shopping bag louis vuitton neverfull modello grande in tela monogram e pelle naturale. 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 louis vuitton 2010 pre owned monogram ceinture pochette duo waist belt bag item leather Collection 7 to the Amen Break, a little-known drum break of a B-side created by the funk-soul group The Winstons in 1969, which would be louis vuitton fall winter 2021 collection nicolas ghesquiere fornasetti collaboration into thousands of the pop tracks most familiar to us today.

To Virgil Abloh, limitations are manmade. He imagines what Heaven on Earth might look like (Collection 4), interprets flowers as symbols of human antracita (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 to confront the issues of the world, and he approaches that dream with fervent pragmatism. When rational solutions don’t seem to make the world a better place, he gives the opposite a shot.
