A fresh take on signature graphics and motifs
This exclusive, one-time collection is born from the long-standing friendship between Virgil Abloh and NIGO®, the founder of "A BATHING APE®" and "HUMAN MADE®".

NIGO®'s approach, inspired by London's subcultures, merges with the traditional tailoring proposed by Virgil Abloh in the 2020 Fall/Winter Pre-Collection. Through a Tokyo lens, it depicts the modern man of London's Mod era in the 1960s.
Distinctive special graphics, each reinterpreted in the signature style of Louis Vuitton, are used impressively across a wide range of items, from ready-to-wear to leather goods, shoes, and accessories.

The apparel includes a flight jacket featuring a Mt. Fuji motif and "LV Made" graphics, a tribute to NIGO®'s "Human Made" label, as well as cropped mod suits with an enlarged Damier pattern and double-faced duffle coats.
Many items, including the suits, feature patchwork that combines the Monogram motif with a Damier pattern rendered in denim.
Leather goods, such as tote bags and the "Keepall" travel bag, are also abundant, showcasing playful designs like the enlarged Damier pattern seamlessly integrated with the Monogram motif.
Additionally, the collection includes footwear such as steel-toe cap Derby shoes, Monogram canvas tassel loafers, and ankle boots with the Damier pattern. Accessories include sunglasses adorned with a trunk clip motif on the sides and pieces featuring the "LV2" initials.
