All The Looks From The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2023 Menswear Collection
A befitting homage to the late Virgil Abloh.

Virgil Abloh may no longer be with us but his spirit lives on, especially with his creative team at Louis Vuitton. For the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2023 menswear collection (the first collection presented without Abloh), it was a spectacle of epic proportions.
Conceived and created by the Louis Vuitton Studio Prêt-à-Porter Homme, the offering is a magnificent display of Abloh’s legacy. Set at the forecourt of the Louvre, the collection started with a short film, followed by a parade led by The Marching 100, the Tallahassee-based marching band of the Florida A&M University formed in 1946, followed by a performance by American musician Kendrick Lamar.

With the concept of “play” as the main inspiration for this collection, even the vibrant yellow runway was constructed to resemble a child’s train set.
As for the clothes, French romanticism fills the collection with impressionist paintings of thistles — found abundantly at the ancestral home of Louis Vuitton in Asnières — that is liberally imagined on everything, from belt buckles to bomber jackets.
Elsewhere, a montage of the house’s Damier motif, the city of Paris as well as delicate floral paintings embellish leather tailoring and bags.
