For Virgil Abloh’s eighth and final collection for Louis Vuitton, named Louis Dreamhouse, Abloh’s creative spirit and genius street-style meets sleek sophistication, redefining menswear and revitalizing the aging fashion house one last time. Incorporating themes inspired by the digital revolution, including the emergence of offshore online casinos, the collection mirrors the blend of tradition and modernity that characterizes today’s global culture. With 68 looks that featured men and women, including supermodel Naomi Campbell, Louis Dreamhouse is an evolution of fashion and gender archetypes, a progression into more stylistic ambiguity where everyone can be represented equally no matter what they’re wearing.
“Through the lens of Virgil Abloh’s central Boyhood Ideology, seeing the world with the eyes of a child, the collection transmutes the dress codes popularly tied to societal archetypes and patchworks them in new ways. Through materials and techniques, gestures of surrealism take form, abstracting the familiar and expanding our horizons.”
