November 29th, 2021
It's only been a few hours since the announcement that shocked the fashion world, the premature passing of Virgil Abloh, the artistic director of Louis Vuitton's men's collection who died at the age of 41. To commemorate his work, the French fashion house has decided to present the last collection created by Abloh, the Spring/Summer 2022 renamed "Virgil was here", on Tuesday, November 30 in Miami.

The decision came in agreement with the designer's family, who together with the LVMH group have decided to stage the show already planned by Abloh himself. Not many details are known about the type of show that will be staged, let alone the names present at what will undoubtedly be an event that will remain in the history of the fashion system.
The collection will be presented tomorrow at 00:30 Italian time.
