Louis Vuitton releases a sleek outer space collection for its Spring/Summer 2019 season. The fashion house divides its upcoming offerings into two drops. While the first one contains puffy and shiny outerwear that has been informed by astronaut gear, the second is more subdued and strongly inspired by the planets.
The Spring/Summer 2019 outer space collection is one that is designed by neither Virgil Abloh nor Kim Jones. Yet, the clothing entertains a rather refined and sleek aesthetic that effortlessly elevates the stylistic presence of the wearer. The fashion label unites the items in its two drops by way of a "galaxy motif [that] appears across all product categories," ultimately resulting in a self-referential outer space collection.
