There hasn't been a fashion show of this scale and magnitude in quite a while. Louis Vuitton's one of the foremost authority in luxury fashion, and its men's artistic director Virgil Abloh, is one of contemporary fashion's biggest icons - so it's difficult to expect anything less from the two, global pandemic or not.
As teased since July's Paris Fashion Week Online, the Louis Vuitton men's spring/summer 2021 collection is taking a voyage away from Paris and to the East. Its first stop was Shanghai, China last evening and unveiled the opening of a two-part event that's scheduled to continue in Tokyo, Japan come September.
Opening the show were a selection of looks from the autumn/winter 2020 collection—not as reminder of what's coming to boutiques, but as a proclamation that there's no 'old' or 'new' collection anymore. Abloh's proposing that the value of each collection doesn't diminish with the arrival of a new season or as he stated in the collection's press notes: "equal in worth forevermore".
Abloh once again explored the theme of childhood for spring/summer 2021; a child-like innocence taking over the reins with elements of freedom from being in a trance-like state. Which only meant that the collection took on forms and ideas that were unrestrained in creativity.
While at times they seemed a tad kooky—that last look with Kris Wu attached to a giant float, for instance—given how the collection was conceptualised with that sense of a void for social constructs, they drove a point of how we're limited by what we've been conditioned to be familiarised with.
