“Virgil was a leader in the field of fashion, art, and design, and had such a holistic way of approaching design,” Fetzer observes. “It was not just about the product itself, but the storyline and narrative built around it.”
For his Pre-Fall 2022 collection, “Daybreak,” Virgil Abloh went back to his roots, setting the lookbook for his playful, denim-laden collection in the exteriors of another Le Corbusier masterpiece: the Firminy complex in Lyon.
Louis Vuitton and Virgil Abloh collaborated with Nike to create limited-edition versions of the Air Force 1, one of Nike’s most popular sneaker models. On January 26, 200 special-edition pairs will go up for auction, with proceeds benefiting The Virgil Abloh™ “Post-Modern” Scholarship Fund, in partnership with the Fashion Scholarship Fund.
Formally called Project Geländewagen, this SUV is the result of Abloh and Mercedes-Benz chief design officer Gorden Wagener exploring how they can disrupt future perceptions of luxury.
On January 18, Vancouver’s Holt Renfrew launched an early release of the collection—among the first in the world, and the only Canadian location, to do so.
