Book Louis Vuitton Virgil Abloh: Impossible collection by Assouline

Description

When Virgil Abloh took his first bow for Louis Vuitton in June 2018, fashion changed forever. The newest addition to the Ultimate Collection, Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh pays homage to the designer's groundbreaking creativity on and off the runway. Featuring more than 250 incredibly iconic images and personal reflections from Abloh's inner circle, including Nigo, Naomi Campbell, Luka Sabbat, Kendall Jenner and Kid Cudi, the book is the definitive chronicle of a partnership that redefined not only dress codes , but their very vocabulary.

This Louis Vuitton Virgil Abloh: Impossible Collection book includes a special edition removable glossary highlighting the many sneaker collaborations Virgil Abloh has led during his time at Louis Vuitton. This Ultimate Edition of Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh is packaged in a cardboard box, available in four colors*, inspired by the installation of the container for the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2021 fashion show in Miami.

Made in Italy, the Ultimate Edition features a printed silk cover with foil stamping.

Exclusive white gloves and canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of an Ultimate Collection book.

* Please note that it is not possible to choose the color of the cardboard box.

    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 works as a consultant to major fashion houses and sits on committees 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 men's artistic director at Louis Vuitton from 2018 to 2021.

    Assouline and Louis Vuitton are releasing the title with two collectible covers in the Assouline Classics collection. A clip 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 from cultural icon/artist Reggieknow, who illustrated the now-cult characters in Virgil's Spring/Summer 2021 show (a video featuring animated puppets called "Zooom'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 for each Virgil sneaker designed for Louis Vuitton, including this year's new Air Force 1s.

Nestled in linen clamshell boxes, these books attract collectors, lovers of the printed page, and those who devour the culture of our time. Signifying a new level of sophistication for true connoisseurs, these unique books are works of art in their own right.
