Virgil Abloh has left a void in the world of fashion that one might never recover from. Earlier this year at Paris Fashion Week, Louis Vuitton showcased its Fall/Winter 2022, the very last men's collection designed by the late creative director for the house. On June 1 this year at The Pinnacle in Iconsiam, Louis Vuitton hosted the biggest spin-off show in Southeast Asia in Bangkok, presenting its men's Fall/ Winter 2022 collection with nine additional never-seen-before looks.
The celebration of Abloh's legacy, which is evident in the Fall/ Winter '22 collection, is based on arcs such as the coming-of-age premise, the global perspective, and the cycle of creativity. Debuting the nine previously unseen looks from the original collection, it explores these ideas through circular motifs. Models were seen traversing in circular passages, creating an illusion of circularity.
For Fall-Winter 2022, the eighth chapter in his arc at Louis Vuitton, Abloh constructed a Louis Dreamhouse around a collection that is steeped in the core ideologies of his practice. Titled 8.2, the Bangkok show offers a continuation of the collection first presented during Paris Men's Fashion Week, which unfolds in a Louis Dreamhouse², a reinterpretation of the Dreamhouse that was initially presented earlier this year in January. It manifests in a physical but surrealist sphere where everything is circulated the sun orbits the set as models travel in circular passages and instruments float planetary in the dreamy ether.
