LOUIS VUITTON: A Yellow Brick Road for Menswear Spring 2023 PFW

Louis Vuitton delivered a Yellow Brick Road for its Menswear Spring 2023 show at the Paris Fashion Week runway and here are some highlights!

“If this was Louis Vuitton’s final celebration of Abloh and his legacy— the first collection and show to have been seen through wholly without him—then the brand’s powers that be, and all the people who worked for Abloh, did a spectacular all-round job. It wasn’t at all mournful or—worse—forcedly upbeat. Rather, it was a collective collection, designed by the people who worked all the long hours with him, cementing the profound and irrevocable social change that Abloh succeeded in normalizing at the very top of the fashion establishment.

Behind it was the concept of play—which tracks back to what Abloh once described as “the untainted vision of a child, not yet spoiled by societal programming.” Free play is where he believed creativity happens. As a multi-disciplinarian and collaborator across so many fields and across continents—DJ-ing, graphic design, furniture design, animation, music, film, museum curation, and more—he recognized no boundaries.” – Vogue
