The First Drop of Virgil Abloh's Final Louis Vuitton Collection Is Here

While still marred by the untimely death of Virgil Abloh, Louis Vuitton sets to strive on with the first edition of his final Pre-FW22 collection. This latest capsule sets to celebrate the late and great designer through an array of contemporary menswear that bears a distinctive Virgil twist.

The entire collection was completed and photographed by the man himself before his passing last year and is potentially his final mid-season collection. For this release, Virgil partnered with Ghusto Leon, a Milan-based tattoo artist known for his signature graffiti works.

This same graffiti-styled vision has found itself displayed in this collection across suits, jackets and even travel wear accessories. Elsewhere in the collection, we see Y2K influenced pieces complete with vibrant flame embroidery matched with heavy-chain accessorised pants.

When labelling the pieces included in the collection, Virgil noted that it was "trendless," not pertaining to the usual fashion-movement based constraints. This, in turn, has created a selection of goods bought to fruition simply from the man's mind. For those looking to cop this upcoming Virgil Abloh designed Louis Vuitton Pre-FW22 Collection, it will begin rolling out in stores and online as of April 28th.
