Luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton prepares to present its new collection of menswear at the SS23 show. To invite those to the show, the fashion house takes on a playful angle as it sends out playable invitations, allowing guests to play a literal game.
Straying away from traditional cards as an invitation, the house creates a miniature board game that comes with paper miniatures depicting characters, a tree, and more -- it came with bright yellow dice as well. The board has four quadrants -- each one is designed to represent different seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter. Notably, this latest Fall/Winter 2022 collection is the last season that is created by the late Virgil Abloh.
