Late designer Virgil Abloh's final collection celebrated the power of dreams.
Abloh’s love of art was reflected in outfits incorporating tapestry renditions of paintings by Gustave Courbet and Giorgio de Chirico. His sportswear roots were echoed in varsity jackets covered in cartoon graphics of wizards, animals, cherubs, clouds and the Grim Reaper — though he’d recently made a strong case for tailoring, reflected in suits and coats with exaggerated shoulders.
Speaking after the show, an emotional Benji B, who supervised the musical direction of all of Abloh’s collections at Vuitton, said the designer had wanted to bring a sense of theater to the show, which was Vuitton’s first physical men’s wear display in Paris in 18 months. The score was arranged by Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai, a favorite of both men, making it a truly international project.“I just want to be surrounded by people that really understand the assignment.
While Tyler composed eight new pieces for the show, the finale song was a track from his 2017 album “Flower Boy” titled “See You Again.” Members of Abloh’s design studio walked out to loud applause, lingering on the runway to hug the models.Referring to his autodidactic journey to the pinnacle of luxury, Abloh used to tell his followers: “You can do it, too.” His wife has pledged to perpetuate his efforts to support the education of academically promising Black students.
