About the author
Anders Christian Madsen is a fashion writer who contributes to international fashion publications and has been a fashion critic for British Vogue since 2017. He consults for major fashion houses and sits on boards dedicated to emerging talent. Raised in Denmark, he graduated from the London College of Fashion in 2009 and began his career as Fashion Features Director at iD Magazine. Madsen was a close collaborator of Virgil Abloh throughout his tenure as Louis Vuitton’s menswear artistic director from 2018 to 2021.
Assouline and Louis Vuitton are releasing the title with two collectible covers in the Assouline Classics collection. One from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2022 show in Miami, featuring an image of a young child leaping toward a striking red Louis Vuitton hot air balloon, emblematic of the importance of youth in Virgil’s work. The other sports cartoon by cultural icon/artist Reggieknow, who illustrated the now-iconic characters for Virgil’s Spring/Summer 2021 show (a video featuring animated puppets titled “Zoom’s Adventures with Friends”)—the first time Louis Vuitton has collaborated with a Black artist on the runway. The book will also be available in an Ultimate Collection; packaged in a collector's box referencing Virgil's use of shipping crates in the Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The Louis Vuitton Virgil Abloh: Impossible Collection book also includes a separate special insert that serves as a compendium of every sneaker Virgil designed for Louis Vuitton, including this year's new Air Force 1s.
