If the first drop of Virgil Abloh and Nigo‘s LV² collab collection didn’t make enough of a wave, the second drop certainly will with its more elaborate range of trophies. Following the opening of a dedicated Louis Vuitton men’s boutique in Tokyo in July of this year, the luxury brand’s pop-up store in New York City‘s Soho neighbourhood has reopened with a similar aesthetic. Situated on the ground floor of a red brick structure built in 1900, the classic wooden façade with its Corinthian columns and large windows now sees a bold drip motif in bright yellow and an interior dipped entirely in the very same hue, including all store furnishings, fixtures, and most of the specially made props. Striking exceptions are the LV Made duck in the window and a large turtle rug which boldly references the rugs that Nigo designed for his streetwear brand Human Made. The LV² pop-up store carries the brand’s full range of coveted men’s apparel, accessories, shoes, bags, small leather goods, jewellery pieces and eyewear, and will remain open mid-October.

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.
