Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer Men's 2021 collection makes a playful debut in Miami's Design District. The Temporary Residency unveils the vibrant seasonal capsule in collaboration with 'The Adventures of Zoooom with friends.' The characters are cartoonish and imagined by the house's Artistic Director Virgil Abloh.
He conceptualized the crew of characters to represent inclusivity, which serves as the core approach to menswear for Louis Vuitton. The show features the characters climbing shipping containers as they take on a global adventure, capturing the house's spirit of traveling. Starting in Miami, the figures adorn bright red shipping containers accompanied by a large sculpture of a pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses. The Temporary Residency is open to the public to visit and also features a custom Augmented Reality experience.
