On Thursday January 19, 2017, Kim Jones, creative director for Louis Vuitton\u2019s men\u2019s collections, teamed up with New York label Supreme to siphon off some of their hype. \u201cSupreme is Louis Vuitton\u201d is a collection that brings streetwear into the excellence and nobility of the centennial brand\u2019s pieces. Supreme, founded in New York in 1994, quickly gained favor with skaters before seeing its label get picked up by cool kids around the world. \u201cToday, you can\u2019t talk about New York men\u2019s fashion without Supreme, which has become such a huge world phenomenon. [\u2026] I just have the feeling that with the strength of their graphicness combined with the strength of Louis Vuitton\u2019s and that pop art feeling, it works perfectly.\u201d This is how Kim Jones introduced the idea for this collaboration – a collaboration whose trunk is worth noting, as it\u2019s made in a bright red and signed by Supreme.<\/p>\n
With plenty of carefully filtered references, the collection is a model for practical luxury. Leather trench coats, a robe jacket made of double-sided vicuna wool or woven mohair and leather, an alligator skin blouse lined with shearling, a cashmere sweater on poplin, a pajama-esque silk shirt with an ad motif from the brand\u2019s archives, a camouflage jacket mixing Louis Vuitton\u2019s monogram and Supreme\u2019s logo\u2026 Everything is decked out with a red and white leather bearing the same double signature. This style appeal is largely incarnated in the legendary Louis Vuitton trunk that is this year taking on a ghetto blaster look.<\/p>\n
Kim Jones tells it like it is: 70s downtown New York was the backdrop for creating this Fall-Winter 2018 collection. Creative, multicultural, festive, and decadent, the period from the 70s to the 90s saw some of the most beautiful stylistic advancements. Like an ultra-luxurious homage to the period, the Louis Vuitton ghetto blaster trunk, like the entire collection, will only be released in a handful of Louis Vuitton boutiques from July 17th onward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
