Menswear creative director Virgil Abloh is now well into his reign at Louis Vuitton, and each new collection is more anticipated than the next. Now, on the heels of the brand’s Women’s summer capsule, we’re getting a look at the latest from Virgil Abloh and it’s good, it’s really good.
Inspired by West Coast artists and skaters the latest seasonal capsule by Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton reimagines the brand’s iconic Monogram in a whimsical new way. Bright, watercolor hues are meant to emulate the ever-changing colors of a summer sky. Soft multicolor pastel prints are the standout pieces of the collection, dubbed the Artist’s Palette, this print adorns RTW and classic bags like the Keepall and Pochette.
A second colorway, called Shades of Indigo revisits Watercolor Monogram in varying shades of blues and indigo. The pattern is interpreted as if drops of water had fallen on ink, appearing once again on a range of RTW, bags, accessories and shoes. The stand out piece is the shrunken down version of the classic Louis Vuitton Keepall, the cute and compact Keepall XS.
Both motifs add a graphic rainbow spin to classic Monogram, enlivening the brand’s bags both new, and old, all the while conveying a joyful, lively summer season. And those these bags fall under LV Men’s they’re likely to be coveted by all and to sell, and sell fast. Some pieces already appear to be unavailable so if you see something you like, it’s best to snatch it up quickly!

Love the Keepall XS. Of course it’s sold out already.
The watercolor keepall is straight fire. Also sold out.
All these limited releases are designed to sell out with pre-orders open to clients way before the launch.

Yes, but why in the hell do they even list them on their website if they aren’t available? This is what frustrates me so much about LV.
And this is the reason why I have seen moved on from LV. It’s ridiculous. My last straw was after calling customer service and monitoring their website for a particular bag I really wanted to no avail. I decided to stop in the store when I was in the city and found out that the item was indeed available to purchase. In the era of technology and the internet, no one has time to chase down an item they are interested in. Unless it’s a marketing strategy, LV needs to do better.
So colorful I love it for the summer.
Think they hit it on the nose with what’s on trend. Gonna be popular with younger guys + street style aesthetics.
i actually think the line can be asexual – especial the artist palette
I liked this collection a lot more than I thought I would. Love the watercolor effect
Yes!!! Street style but still LV chic!
All of the good limited edition colorways are going to the men’s line.
