About the Work

Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh celebrates the groundbreaking creativity of designer Virgil Abloh, whose debut for the fashion house in June 2018 left an indelible mark on the industry. The Classics Collection now includes this stunning tribute, featuring more than 250 iconic images and personal reflections from Abloh’s inner circle, including Kid Cudi, Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell, Luka Sabbat, and Nigo. The book captures the partnership that transformed not only fashion but also its lexicon, breaking down dress codes and pushing boundaries.

The Classics Collection offers two different silk hardcover editions, both made in Italy. One cover features a cartoon artwork from Virgil’s spring-summer 2021 show by cultural icon and artist Reggieknow, while the other is taken from Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton’s spring-summer 2022 spinoff show in Miami.

About the Author

Anders Christian Madsen is a fashion writer who contributes to various international fashion publications and currently serves as the Fashion Critic for British Vogue since 2017. He is also a consultant for leading fashion houses and participates in committees focused on emerging talent. After graduating from the London College of Fashion in 2009, he began his career as Fashion Features Director at i-D Magazine. Madsen has had a close working relationship with Virgil Abloh during his tenure as Men's Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton from 2018-2021.

Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh, a new addition to the Assouline Classics Collection, pays homage to the designer's pioneering creativity both on and off the runway. With over 250 iconic images and personal reflections from Abloh's inner circle, including Nigo, Naomi Campbell, Luka Sabbat, Kendall Jenner, and Kid Cudi, this book chronicles a partnership that transformed not only dress codes but the language of fashion. The book is available in two collectible covers: one from Louis Vuitton's spring-summer 2022 spinoff show in Miami, featuring a striking red Louis Vuitton hot air balloon with a young child running towards it, symbolizing the importance of youth in Virgil's work. The other cover features cartoon artwork by cultural icon/artist Reggieknow, who illustrated the cult characters for Virgil's spring-summer 2021 show. The book is also available in an Ultimate Collection, packaged in a collectible box inspired by Virgil's use of shipping crates in the spring-summer 2021 collection, and includes a special insert that serves as a compendium of every sneaker Virgil designed for Louis Vuitton, including this year's new Air Force 1s.
