Louis Vuitton’s Spring Summer 2023 show was one for the books. Kendrick Lamar performed as tribute to Virgil Abloh.
As per Gentleman’s Quarterly the Compton, California native made a special appearance in what already was trending to be a magical showing by the French label. The final celebration of Virgil was opened by the marching band of Florida A&M University which was proceeded by a troop of LV flag wavers. And the cherry on top was Kung Fu Kenny who performed a medley of his verses from the front row from his most recent project from Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Included in his set was “N95,” “Savior,” “Rich Spirit”, “Count Me Out,” and he closed things out by repeating “Long live Virgil.”
The runway, which resembled a yellow replica of the signature Hot Wheels loop, was also an homage to Virgil’s vision of artistic freedom (“the untainted vision of a child, not yet spoiled by societal programming”). The featured pieces ranged from garden inspired formalwear, lilac pea coats, leather moto jackets and over the top suiting with paper plane attachments.
