Since Virgil Abloh‘s arrival at Louis Vuitton early last year, he has infused it with a solid dose of street cred, and the popularity of the luxury brand’s men’s line has rocketed to new heights. On the occasion of the release of Abloh’s anticipated A/W 2019 Men’s Pre-Collection in Japan, at the Louis Vuitton boutique in Tokyo‘s Shinjuku shopping neighbourhood, the premises are adorned with specially developed temporary installations to highlight a selection of items. Shown on both floors of the Louis Vuitton boutique, the modular display blocks are adorned with various graphics, mostly inspired by company logos, that are also featured on pieces from the collection. The installations will be on display through May 1.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
