Scenography

According to the website, the set "configures and reconfigures the Swiss village through an abstract marble stage that represents the author’s shifting emotions". "Featuring an all-star cast of artists, the performance revolves around the figurative notion of the art heist that is the art world’s theft and re-appropriation of foundations of cultural heritage. In keeping with Louis Vuitton’s sustainability efforts, the majority of the wood and stone used to construct the show set has been donated for reuse by partners in the Arts and Culture sectors."

Looks

Louis Vuitton latest collection "takes archetypes, the writer, the artist, the drifter, the salesman, the hotelier, the gallery owner, the architect, the student, and investigates the dress codes that inform our predetermined perceptions of these familiar characters".Virgil Abloh "imbues the grammar of these codes with different values, by employing fashion as a tool to change those assumptions". Throughout the collection garments, accessories, motifs and techniques play on themes of "illusion, replicating the familiar through the deceptive lenses of trompe l’oeil and filtrage, and re-appropriating the normal through extreme elevation," the website stated.
