SS20 Louis Vuitton by Virgil Abloh Blue Camo Jacquard Knit Sweater

Virgil Abloh’s Spring 2020 collection at the Louis Vuitton Maison was an investigation of time, evolution and youth. Emerging from the wall, a reference to the cult-classic film ‘The Truman Show’, models walked down a set of sky blue stairs before landing on the runway. Immersing viewers in a child-like universe, clouds coated the floors as fittings weaved between wildly oversized tools and exaggerated objects. In such a playful environment, Abloh opted to shift his focus from street silhouettes and explore razor sharp tailoring instead. Bringing life to the dull wardrobe of a working man, the designer reminds his audience to take life a little less seriously, sending clocks that ticked backwards as a show invite. From cloudy duffles, fur trenches and shirts layered atop other shirts, Virgil Abloh invites us to imagine with the spirit of youth, and redefine our perceptions without the burden of age.

 

Carrying the collection’s youthful trope, this sweater features a royal blue jacquard camo weave. In the midst of sporadic geometric patterning, a subtle ‘LV’ metallic pin sits towards the bottom hem, accented by white hues throughout. Fitting wildly oversized, this knit is tagged as an extra-small but fits a mens medium, in good condition with light discolouration.
