Ghana's Virgil Abloh stuns with Louis Vuitton Paris fashion show

The latest Louis Vuitton (LV) menswear show was streamed live from Paris on Thursday, January 21, 2021 — and was part catwalk, part installation.

The show possessed the standard showcase of designs by models but also featured a static presentation too — with the highlight of a dance sequence.

Black American Hip hop artist Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) also made an appearance — performing a track at the end of the show.

Tailoring was a prominent theme in the collection - from formal coats with sharp lapels to full suits.

Ghana's Virgil Abloh — the artistic director of the brand's collection since 2018, seemed to be about the work-from-home aesthetic of sweatpants - illustrating the versatility of corporate attire.

The palette was somewhat subdued, as greys and sharp whites were livened up by splashes of greens.

The LV logo was patterned across coats.
