Louis Vuitton by Virgil Abloh - Assouline Coffee Table Book

In June 2018, when Virgil Abloh took his first bow for Louis Vuitton, it marked a groundbreaking moment in the fashion world. Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh, the latest addition to the Classics Collection, celebrates the designer's innovative creativity both on and off the runways. Featuring over 250 iconic images and personal reflections from Abloh's inner circle, including Nigo, Naomi Campbell, Luka Sabbat, Kendall Jenner, and Kid Cudi, the book is a definitive chronicle of a partnership that not only redefined dress codes but also reshaped their very vocabulary.

The Classics collection editions are made in Italy and available in two different silk hardcovers. One cover features a cartoon artwork from Virgil's spring-summer 2021 show by cultural icon and artist Reggieknow, while the other cover is taken from Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton's spring-summer 2022 spinoff show in Miami. It's important to note that the interior content is the same for both the Classics and Ultimate editions.

Anders Christian Madsen, a fashion writer who contributes to international fashion publications and has been the Fashion Critic for British Vogue since 2017, is the author of the book. Madsen also works as a consultant to leading fashion houses and serves on committees dedicated to emerging talent. Originally from Denmark, he graduated from the London College of Fashion in 2009 and started his career as Fashion Features Director at i-D Magazine. Madsen was a close collaborator of Virgil Abloh throughout Abloh's time as Men's Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton from 2018-2021.

The new title will be released by Assouline and Louis Vuitton with two collectible covers as part of the Assouline Classics Collection. The book is 359 pages and will be available in hardback format.

Overall, the release of Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh is a celebration of Virgil Abloh's legacy in the fashion world and a testament to the impact he had during his time as Men's Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton.
