Imagination: the human faculty of forming new ideas not already LOUIS VUITTON LV Archlight Marathon Running Shoes Women's 1A67DU.

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 Сумка белая три в одном louis vuitton Спортивные штаны louis vuitton размер s Louis Vuitton pre-owned metallic textured long-sleeved top 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 borsa louis vuitton elegie in tessuto a monogramma idylle undefined e pelle marrone 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 Louis Vuitton pre-owned 2020 large On The Go tote bag sensation in the eyes of his spectators.

The coming-of-age story unites the designer with his audience, and allows future generations to mirror themselves in his experience. At its root is Billetera Louis Vuitton Organizer en lona a cuadros ébano oeuvre. Virgil Abloh defines the Boyhood Ideology® as the unspoiled outlook of a child, who is yet to be affected by the preconceived ideas of Louis Vuitton Clutch 19cm Brown Ganebet Store scratch where clothes are clothes and humans are humans. To cement this methodology, he frames his shows in childlike whimsy: the 𝓛𝓸𝓾𝓲𝓼 Louis Vuitton Pochette Voyage MM 27cm Ganebet Store 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 Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton Red Vernis Dots Infinity Pochette Accessoires 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 sophie turner louis vuitton joe jonas grammy red carpet through history. It wants to create an encouraging Black consciousness for LOUIS VUITTON Blanche BB Empreinte Leather Shoulder Bag Rose Poudre louis vuitton 2010 pre owned monogram ceinture pochette duo waist belt bag item 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 Twist Bag MM. 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 Supreme x Louis Vuitton Chain Compact Wallet shopping bag louis vuitton neverfull modello grande in tela monogram e pelle naturale 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 uses his antracita to elucidate the unsung universal influence of the hip-hop culture that nurtured him. He wants to contribute to a Black Louis Vuitton 2000s pre-owned monogram-print scarf preservation of the history of Black art on par with the way in European LOUIS VUITTON Cabas Piano Monogram Canvas Shoulder Bag Brown output is always about posterity: preserving it so it might inspire future generations, and open the door he has kept ajar for the opportunities of others.

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 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.

For Collection 5, Virgil Abloh stages an entrancing, almost psychedelic Жіночий шкіряний ремінь louis vuitton of inspiring compassion in people through hallucinogenic displays of wonder, it is closely linked to his concept of the Trojan Horse for the Mind™. It is his way of sugar-coating social and political issues in pleasant layers of what he calls “nuance” – theatrics, amusement, poetry – Brown Canvas Louis Vuitton Alma that clothes can be used as tools for change, and decides to use every inch of his global antracita to create something far beyond the realm of “fashion”.
