Fashion house Louis Vuitton revealed designer Virgil Abloh’s final collection at Paris Fashion Week, and I must say it is stunning.
For those not in the know, Abloh passed away in November after suffering a two-year battle with a rare and aggressive form of cancer called cardiac angiosarcoma. He was 41.
In a statement, the haus of Louis Vuitton stated that the Paris fashion show was meant to “consolidate the themes and messages of [Abloh’s] eight-season arc.”

Thursday’s fashion show is the latest effort to honor Abloh’s creative vision, who made history as the first African-American to lead Louis Vuitton. After his death; Kanye West, Rihanna, 21 Savage, Pharrell Williams, Lil Baby and more attended his final runway show, “Virgil Was Here,” in Miami. The show featured Abloh’s spring/summer 2022 Louis Vuitton menswear collection, which was modeled by the likes of Offset, Quavo, Kid Cudi and more at the Miami Marine Stadium.
