In the spring of 2022 Virgil Abloh’s final show for the fashion house Louis Vuitton was unveiled in Miami FL. The unique runway was lined with trees and there were many of virtual old friends and supporters in the audience there to see his final collection with the brand. There were ten never before seen looks that expanded on the ideas that were first introduced back in June. The show began with A voice recording from Virgil Abloh himself explaining the design process And returning to a place of childlike wonder in the curiosity he’d been exploring through his work.
Many of the looks on the models featured bold colors and large oversized clothing items. There were also a number of bags that Virgil had became famous for designing for Louis Vuitton. Many of the looks were very over the top which was true to V
irgil’s style and some of the models even had footwear from his collaboration with Nike. One of the main themes was a bright neon green and a royal blue color that could be seen throughout.
His last collection stayed true to his roots of mixing high luxury fashion with Street wear. With this show Virgil did something that he doesn’t often do, which was designed suits. He of course did it his own way. Many of the looks went for very bold colors which is unlike something you typically see on a designer suit. Bright greens and Blues once again were some of the colors he used. Some also had lettering and different design patterns throughout. He started out with six variations of slim suits with pale shirts and ties and had models wear Chelsea boots with them. Also every model that walked down the runway with a suit was also carrying one of his famous bags. These bags in particular were curved in a way that they fit right up against the edge of the suit. More very innovative looks from Virgil.
