French luxury fashion label Louis Vuitton has unveiled its Pre-Fall 2022 residency, which is located in New Yorks' chic Soho shopping district. The new store will highlight creative director Virgil Abloh's final clothing capsule titled 'Day Break.'
In a sense, the pop-up store is one large tribute to Abloh, who passed away in 2021, which is why the brand is using the space to allow his creative work to live on by debuting his final clothing capsule. The space itself features an eye-catching color scheme consisting of a combination of Jade Green, Teal, and Pollen hues. In addition, the space features a variety of posed mannequins wearing pieces from Abloh's Pre-Fall 2022 collection.
"My philosophy is very much informed by the clothes that people actually wear. What I do is an analysis of a generation: what do people buy and why do they wear it," said Abloh in reference to the new collection. "That question naturally creates an equal interest in tradition as it does in changing tradition.
