BLOOMING BOYHOOD

Virgil Abloh’s third collection for Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2020 proves that streetwear is the new luxury.

BLOOMING BOYHOOD

It’s unspoken imperative that luxury is not a word typically associated with streetwear. But in Louis Vuitton’s case, it seems right. Ever since the luxury house appointed Virgil Abloh as the creative director for its menswear division, Louis Vuitton – previously a stickler for stringent regulations on the usage of its logo – is so wholeheartedly embracing the streetwear culture, which signalled a new era not just for the brand, but also the industry.

For his third outing for the fashion house, it seems like Abloh is finding that sweet spot; combining the beautiful and practical normcore clothes, but at the same time make it as luxurious as possible. And he delivered, all within a little over a year of being appointed. This collection is a poignant translation of his agenda for the iconic French label, with crystal-clear intent: blurring the boundaries between the two genres and reintroducing age-old house icons with a contemporary viewpoint.

With the return of flights, and the additional of new ones, there is little reason to doubt that doing a stopover in Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific to any destination in the world from ASEAN is the best decision one might make in their lifetime. Plus, its concrete Business and Premium Economy Class offerings, and world-renowned lounges in HKIA make travelling on the Hong Kong-based airline an experience via a stopover, rather than a chore.
