1. Louis Vuitton
Virgil Abloh’s first-ever show as artistic director of Louis Vuitton menswear did not disappoint. To a 250-metre rainbow-striped runway, set in Paris’ Palais Royal, Abloh sent out a collection that was equal parts sporty and utility, with a flash of luxury for opulent measure.
An evolution of colour, the Off-White founder first delivered all-over white looks, which evolved hyper-fast into tie-dye smocks, exotic material worker jackets and colour-blocked tailoring. Keep your eyes peeled for a Wizard of Oz ‘Dorothy’ floral print windbreaker next spring, which closed the star-studded show.
