The latest Virgil Abloh collaboration solidifies the designer's position as a visionary and an artist in the eyes of the public and beyond. He enters a partnership with the Louvre Museum in Paris that makes possible a very special ready-to-wear collection that will capture the eye of fans of Abloh and fine art alike.
The Virgil Abloh collaboration is said to commemorate the 'Leonardo da Vinci' exhibition, as well as the 500th anniversary of the Renaissance artist's death. The pieces in the capsule range in price between $355 USD to $640 USD. There are a few different silhouettes and colorways of hoodies and tees which are available to be seen in an artistically shot editorial that takes place inside the museum.
The Louvre x Virgil Abloh collaboration is made available at the institution's gift shop, in select stores and e-commerce platforms.
