About the Work

Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh is a celebration of the designer's revolutionary creativity both on and off the runway since joining the brand in 2018. This edition, a new addition to the Ultimate Collection, showcases more than 250 iconic images and personal anecdotes from Abloh's inner circle, including Kid Cudi, Kendall Jenner, Luka Sabbat, Naomi Campbell, and Nigo. The book is the ultimate chronicle of a partnership that has redefined fashion codes and language. This Ultimate edition comes in a carton box available in four colors, inspired by the container installation from Louis Vuitton's 2021 spring/summer menswear show in Miami. The edition features a removable glossary highlighting the numerous sneaker collaborations Virgil Abloh has led during his tenure. The Italian-made Ultimate edition includes a clamshell covered in printed silk with foil stamping.

About the Author

Anders Christian Madsen is a renowned fashion writer who writes for various international fashion publications, and since 2017, he has been the Fashion Critic for British Vogue. He is a consultant to leading fashion houses and also sits on committees that promote emerging talent. After graduating from the London College of Fashion in 2009, he began his career as the Fashion Features Director at i-D Magazine. Throughout Virgil Abloh's time as Men's Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton from 2018-2021, Madsen worked closely with him.

Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh is a new addition to the Assouline Classics Collection and features two collectible covers. The first one depicts a young child bounding towards a striking red Louis Vuitton hot air balloon, which symbolizes the significance of youth in Virgil's work. This image was taken from the Louis Vuitton spring-summer 2022 spinoff show in Miami. The second cover features cartoon artwork by the cultural icon and artist Reggieknow, who illustrated the now-cult characters for Virgil's spring-summer 2021 show, which starred animated puppets dubbed 'The Adventures of Zooom with Friends.' This was the first time that Louis Vuitton collaborated with a Black artist on the runway. The book is also available in the Ultimate Collection, which is packaged in a collectible box referencing Virgil's use of shipping crates in the spring-summer 2021 collection. The Ultimate edition also features a special separate insert that serves as a compendium for every single sneaker that Virgil designed for Louis Vuitton, including this year's new Air Force 1s.

"Assouline is more than a publishing house, it is a lifestyle brand."
