With the fashion world currently mourning the loss of the infamous Virgil Abloh, all eyes have been on Louis Vuitton to see how the house will honour their late menswear Artistic Director. And, following on from its touching Miami-bound Men’s spin-off SS2022 show, the label now unveils its Pre-Fall 2022 collection.

Crafted and completed by the visionary before his passing, the collection stands as a tribute to his forward-thinking approach to fashion and affinity for elevating streetwear to a luxury level. Best described by Abloh himself as a collection that works to “celebrate the idea of commercialism rather than deny it the way fashion tends to,” we are treated to a line that abandoned the formalities of fashion genres and instead, they invite us to feast on what can best be described as the modern man’s wardrobe.

From Virgil’s take on the three-piece suit to net-adorned bucket hats and glittering wrap skirts, a youthful energy surges through the collection as sports, formal and streetwear sensibilities clash, as if kismet. And, as for colour, the eyes are set to be delighted as muted and neutral bases are disrupted by vibrant monograms and prints, reminding us of Abloh’s focus on making the unconventional accessible and making the essential timeless once more,

A testimony to Virgil’s unmatched creative vision, Louis Vuitton’s Pre-Fall 2022 collection is as impressive as the man who crafted it.
