Louis Vuitton unveiled Virgil Abloh’s final collection
The Louis Vuitton fall/winter 2022 show serves as an ode to Abloh’s work for the past eight seasons; the visionary’s swan song after he passed from cardiac angiosarcoma in 2021. The show took place in the ‘Louis Dreamhouse’, a deconstructed home setting featuring chimneys, banquet tables, and more painted in high-octane shades of blue and red. Tyler the Creator composed the music that served as a backdrop to Abloh’s designs encompassing acid-wash puffer jackets, revamped balaclavas, and tie-dyed fur coats.
