Yesterday, Louis Vuitton’s new men’s collection was shown in an impressive setting in the form of a huge playground built in front of the Louvre. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Naomi Campbell, Mick Jagger’s son by Luciana Morad, Lucas Jagger, and others came to Paris to evaluate the collection.

The brand’s spring-summer show was the first to be created solely by the design team since Virgil Abloh’s death – after his previous death shown in January, his collection was still based on his own creations. But Abloh’s style has been so delicately preserved that it could really be considered that the designer was invisibly present in the workshop. This rare continuation of a former designer’s aesthetic in a fashion house is a strong indication of the level of influence Abloh has. However, radical changes would hardly be appropriate, while the brand remains without a creative director.

For now, the Louis Vuitton shows have remained a tribute to his memory – and this time it was a poignant gesture. At the end of the show, the models carried a giant rainbow flag on the runway as a tribute to the color coating of the runway at Abloh’s first fashion show for Louis Vuitton in 2018.

Also added to the performance of the show was a dance orchestra and a performance by rapper Kendrick Lamar, who ended the show with the phrase Long Live Virgil (“Long live Virgil”).
