.VirgilAbloh's new collection for LouisVuitton was designed to fit diverse tastes.
When searching for locations for his Louis Vuitton spring collection, Virgil Abloh initially wanted to wrap the Pont Neuf bridge right next to his Paris office.
In the end, the designer decided to use the most spectacular backdrop Paris has to offer: its streets. He took over Place Dauphine, the postcard-pretty square where Carrie Bradshaw took a stroll in “Sex and the City,” and turned it into a playground, complete with a red bouncy castle and stands dispensing crepes and ice cream.
“I’m keen on using flowers as a metaphor for diversity,” Abloh explained. “When you go to a field, it looks amazing and beautiful from a micro level and a macro level. How does that look beautiful? Not every flower is the same.” He nodded to Christo by tying ropes around everything from a fuchsia crocodile leather hoodie to a slate double-breasted suit, and let loose his more playful side by attaching kites to white tops sprouting sculptural organza renditions of backpacks, fanny packs and weekend bags.
