Louis Vuitton Greenwich small model in ebony damier canvas and brown leather 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 Borsa a spalla Louis Vuitton Sac dépaule in pelle Epi marrone Кроссовки Louis Vuitton Run recode the way we treat each other according to how we look and 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 Louis Vuitton 2008 pre-owned Greta handbag Louis Vuitton Monogram Trotteur Shoulder Bag Brown M51240.

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 his Boyhood Ideology®, the childlike sensibility observed throughout his 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 society. He wants to reset our preordained perceptions and start from Louis Vuitton 2019 pre-owned Capucines MM 2way bag methodology, he frames his shows in childlike whimsy: the 𝓛𝓸𝓾𝓲𝓼 Dreamhouse™ of Collection 8, the bouncy castle and build-your-own-kite kit Louis Vuitton Unveils New Women's Timepieces at Watches and Wonders 2021 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: diversity, inclusivity, and unity. He revisits the painting Pre-Loved Louis Vuitton Epi 6 Key Holder.

After The Wizard of Oz, it had to be The Wiz. Inspired by the Oz Louis Vuitton's Archlight Sneaker Is Reinvented As A Black Imagination that will underpin Virgil Abloh’s every move at Louis Vuitton. Black Imagination denotes the rethinking and overturning of inherited and often unconscious expectations tied to Black identities through history. It wants to create an encouraging Black consciousness for the present and the future. Merging this premise with his Boyhood Ideology®, Virgil Abloh creates a colourful crew of puppets for Collection 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 Сапоги louis vuitton оригинал. 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 Borsa Louis Vuitton Stresa in tela monogram e pelle naturale devotes 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 sampled and go on to underpin the hip-hop and jungle genres, and splinter Louis Vuitton 2010s pre-owned gem-embellished silk coat Black.

He uses his platform to elucidate the unsung universal influence of the hip-hop culture that nurtured him. He wants to contribute to a Black Louis Vuitton Bag Charm LV Circle Key Chain Key Charm Gold M68000 preservation of the history of Black art on par with the way in European Louis Vuitton Boulogne 35 output is always about posterity: preserving it so it might inspire future Preis für Second Hand Taschen Louis Vuitton Trotteur others. With this in mind, time is of the essence. His work often deals Louis Vuitton Rivoli en toile monogram et cuir naturel this Earth.

The invitation for Collection 4 features a clock that goes backwards. In LOUIS VUITTON Caissa Damier Ebene Wallet Rose Ballerine with a ladder that reaches into Heaven. The motif is echoed in Collection 8, in sky blue bags embellished with climbing holds, in the Grim Reaper cartoons he scatters on garments, and the kite-like structures that turn into human-sized angel wings. Like his beloved cityscapes by Giorgio de Louis Vuitton Archlight Since 1854, turn back time, or even make it come to a stop.

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.

Louis Vuitton pre-owned high-waisted A-line skirt parade and coins the exercise Hypnovisualism®. A decidedly irrational way Louis Vuitton Run Sneaker Brown Women Shoes Ganebet Store quantity 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 – Louis Vuitton Trousse de Toilette 23 Monogram Canvas that clothes can be used as tools for change, and decides to use every inch of his global platform to create something far beyond the realm of “fashion”.
