Louis Vuitton’s Nigo X Virgil Abloh “Lv²” Collaboration Is Inspired By The Mod Era

Description

“LV²” marks Abloh’s very first collaboration for Louis Vuitton. The range merges the aesthetics of London’s Mod era with both Abloh and NIGO’s streetwear sensibility. Leather goods feature an enlarged version of the Louis Vuitton Damier check. The top half of totes and duffel bags are overlaid with monogram paneling in the shape of dripping liquid, creating a trippy patchwork effect. Suiting, knitwear and denim are also printed with the oversized Damier check and feature a slim, streamlined fit characteristic of the ’60s. A black, padded flight jacket reads, “LV Made” on the back, a nod to NIGO-founded labeled Human made.
