This Tuesday, the men’s fashion house, Louis Vuitton, paid a posthumous tribute to its Artistic Director, Virgil Abloh, in Virginia Key, Miami.
Abloh, 41, died Sunday in Chicago from cancer that he had suffered for several years.
The place was conditioned, to be somewhat calming, in which there was a Louis Vuitton monogram and sometimes the voice of Abloh was heard, who was a civil engineer and architect who eventually became a DJ and fashion designer.
The Louis Vuitton spring collection was presented at the tribute
The event served to present the men’s spring-summer 2022 fashion show, in which Abloh , who was the son of Ghanaian immigrants, worked.
“There is not limit. Life is so short that you can’t waste a day subscribing to what someone thinks you can do instead of knowing what you can do, “said singer Kanye West.
A rainbow shone on the stage where the parade took place, which for those present was quite a spectacle.
The models wore a turquoise coat like an Irishman’s skirt. There were playful men’s bags in different sizes, including some in blue.
There were also neon fabric garments for tailored suits that contrasted with the crisp white jackets and black samurai pants.
Show ended with artificial light show
After the show, Father Abloh did not come out to bow in front of the large crowd, some of whom were also VIP guests at Art Basel Miami Beach.
The fire from a red hot air balloon was glowing and there were fireworks. As part of the tribute to LV in Miami, drones were deployed in the sky for a light show that included a short message in red: “Virgil was here.”
At the meeting, celebrities such as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were present, who met again after their divorce.
There were also celebrities like Joe Jonas and Erykah Badu, who also made a big impression.
