Luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton introduces its new Snow capsule that is designed for the Pre-Spring 2023 season. It is inspired by ski themes and brought to life by the house's creative teams and collaborative efforts since it was first conceived by the talented late menswear creative director Virgil Abloh.
The new range highlights functionality above all else with alpine looks through the silhouettes of tracksuits, knitwear, nylon ski apparel, and outerwear. Abloh stated, "We live in a time of increasing awareness – of both ourselves and our surroundings – where businessmen from Paris become weekend warriors in Gstaad, and everyone is testing their own limits [...] We expect design to perform, to multi-function, to serve a purpose beyond the obvious."
