Earlier this week, Virgil Abloh described Louis Vuitton’s second collaboration with NIGO as a “new generation of menswear” and a “new generation of design”. While this might be up for some discussion, when Abloh said the pair had turned up “the fidelity” second time around, he wasn’t wrong.
Fresh from sharing the trailer for NIGO®️ x Louis Vuitton LV², the full collection has officially landed on the latter’s website. A capsule which celebrates Nigo’s Japanese provenance as well as investigating the pair’s diverse cultural roots under the global emblem of Louis Vuitton, this extensive Pre-Spring 2022 offering comprises everything from footwear and outerwear, to jewellery and plate sets.
LV Trainers have been reworked with the collection’s duck motif, as well as monogram denim and black, each of which encompasses leather goods and accessories. The emblematic Oberkampf Ankle Boot — which comes in either black or “Moka” — boasts patches with Louis Vuitton x Nigo signatures, and press studs that can be removed or interchanged to create different looks. Full denim looks, leather jackets, kimono shirts, turtleneck sweatshirts, monogram bags and duck-adorned cups further catch the eye, alongside a Damier Suit, fleeces and more.
