Since taking the menswear reins at Louis Vuitton two years ago, Virgil Abloh's collections have leaned more toward sportier riffs on classic luxury pieces. For Fall 2020, however, he set out to completely reimagine the most traditional men's item: the suit. He twists and turns the silhouette into something new, taking it far beyond the comfort zone of corporate dress attire.
"Dress codes of an old world are neutralized, re-appropriated and embraced for a progressive joie de vivre," read the show notes. And while the term streetwear gets tossed around so freely, Abloh's work has made it clear that his Vuitton is much more nuanced to be labeled as such. This is where the inspiration for his latest collection comes in. He cites the relationship between suiting/shirting and boyhood/adolescence as the starting point, specifically the naive and pure perspective of a child.
Suits are deconstructed and made to look like they're floating on air, while white business shirts feature cutouts of the brand's famous monogram. The rigidity, seriousness and stiffness of traditional suits gives way for the playful, charming and unexpected. Here's everything else you need to know about the collection.The show was held in a tent at the Tuileries Garden, where the floors and ceilings of the space resembled cloudy skies.
