In my honest opinion, there are a few fashion brands out there that when I see their clothes or their runway shows, I don't want to be reminded of real life, of the street, I want to be taken on a journey; I want to be immersed in this encompassing fantasy world where there are no troubles or pain, where there is only beauty. I continually watch Galliano for Dior shows for this very reason. That immersive experience. I want a certain elitism from the show, that feeling of "omg people actually have money to dress like this" and "people have money to spend on a completely unnecessary shearling lined leather guitar case". Louis Vuitton is one of those brands, but Virgil isn't giving me that; he's giving me "Off-White, but more upscale and 5x the price".
1) With this LV money Virgil is capable of producing a very beautiful, very cinematic experience. With this show I'd say he's more suited to be a stage play or movie producer than an actual designer. But with the amount of things he does I wouldn't be slightly surprised if he makes a movie or play.
2)The opening of grey and black was truly beautiful, managing to walk that line between Virgil's streetwear tendencies, and the über luxury I want to see from LV.
3)His inclusivity and diversity is very much appreciated.
I JUST WANT TO BE BREATHLESS WHILE WATCHING A SHOW. I want to want every single piece that walks out (and I did for that grey and black part, and the flag scarf). Unfortunately I left with "wow that set was detailed, and movie set worthy" but quickly forgot about the clothes.
