Virgil Abloh’s latest Pre-Fall 2022 collection designed for Louis Vuitton is now available at a designer pop-up store. According to Footwear News, the Manhattan shopping experience offers a range of ready-to-wear items including knitwear, outerwear, jersey tees, hoodies and suits. Classic men’s leather goods like the Keepall and Avenue Slingback, reimagined for the collection, are also available.
“My philosophy is very much influenced by the clothes people actually wear,” Abloh said of her pre-collection process according to the outlet. “What I do is analyze a generation: what do people buy and why do they wear it? This question naturally arouses an equal interest in tradition as in the transformation of tradition. But it’s also about challenging myself and exploring different lands. It is creative freedom.

Abloh’s popular shoe designs, both Runner Tactics and LV Trainers, are also available in the store. Accessories such as LV Sunrise belts, glasses, hats and jewelry are also displayed for potential customers.
According to FN, the pop-up store itself features an intricate design displaying kites with stripes mirroring those that lined the Maison’s historic trunk. The walls are a yellow-green gradient and individualized yellow “L” and “V” initials are painted on one wall, falling to the floor where they are also displayed.
The pop-up shop is open until early June.
