Louis Vuitton Announced NYC Residency Honoring Final Men Collection By Virgil Abloh

This month, Louis Vuitton will host a temporary residency in New York City, showcasing the last men’s collection designed by the late Virgil Abloh.

The pop-up display will be unveiled at 104 Prince Street in SoHo and will include looks from Abloh’s final spring/summer 2022 collection. The vibrant line includes LV Trainers, soft trunks, and “Millionaire sunglasses.”

In addition to the lavish clothing goods, a ten-story mural of Abloh will accompany the residency near the Maison’s 5th Avenue Louis Vuitton store.

Days after Abloh passed, celebrities gathered in Miami to walk the runway in Louis Vuitton’s spring ’22 menswear collection. Prior to his death, Abloh planned a fashion show that included his equally as famous musician friends walking in the show while others took a seat in the front row.

Spectators will have a chance to view the residency, though it is unclear if an entry fee is associated with the display. Inside the residency, a black-and-white checkered pattern adorns the floor and references the chessboard theme that Abloh used in several collections. Birch trees also decorate the space, reminiscent of those at the Miami spring ’22 men’s Spin-Off show.

An official open date will be announced soon.
