Description
Design History:
Virgil Abloh, appointed artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s men’s collections in 2018, has breathed new creative energy into the century-old house. This jacket is among the pieces that reflect his desire to fuse traditional luxury with the language of streetwear. Monogram denim, already used occasionally in past collections, is reinterpreted here with the designer’s own sense of cut and detail. The collaboration embodies a pivotal period in Louis Vuitton’s history, marked by boldness and stylistic inclusivity.
Exterior Details:
Crafted in dark blue cotton denim, the jacket features the Louis Vuitton Monogram motif woven in tone-on-tone throughout the fabric. The structure takes up the codes of the classic denim jacket, with pointed collar, central buttonhole and discreet topstitching. Black metal buttons engraved with the logo add a neat finish. The two chest pockets have buttoned flaps, while the side pockets are subtly integrated into the vertical seams. The cuffs close with a single button, reinforcing the hold of the sleeve.
Interior Details:
The interior of the jacket is lined with matching denim, also embellished with the Monogram. There are two internal pockets, one of which is labelled “Louis Vuitton Paris” on a navy background with gold lettering. White piping adds a touch of contrast, highlighting the care taken to finish the interior. The assembly remains rigid, ensuring a nice structure to the piece even when open.
Product Condition:
The jacket is in excellent condition, with dense denim and uniform colors. No noticeable snags, stains or discoloration are visible, either on the outside or inside. Buttons are intact and securely fastened, and seams show no slack.
Care instructions:
Dry-cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the Monogram weave. Storage should be on a hanger, away from direct light, to avoid fading of the denim. To revive the fabric, a light steam treatment without direct contact may be considered.
