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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axiom-extravehicular-mobility), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-constellation-and-splendor) [that] appears across all product categories," ultimately resulting in a self-referential outer space collection.
