Luxury house Louis Vuitton presented their Fall Winter 2021 Men’s Sunglasses with a campaign featuring Shawkat Sanbar, Robert Neal, and More A. In charge of photography was Joshua Gordon. The collection features refined lines and futuristic accents, and fuses the brand’s craftsmanship with an avant-garde design. It reimagines and pays homage to a vintage model from the Fall-Winter 2006 show.
By examining archetypes like the writer, the artist, the drifter, the salesman, the hotelier, the gallery owner, the architect, and the student, the collection explores the dress codes that shape our ingrained perceptions of these familiar figures. In this narrative, Men’s Sunglasses stand out, particularly those featuring a deep bevel design that draws the eye to the center of the lenses, adorned with Louis Vuitton’s signature Monogram flower and crystalline accents.
Offered in sleek monochrome black and marbled green, these sunglasses’ pure and symmetrical lines are a nod to the architectural elegance of the Barcelona Pavilion, the setting for the Fall-Winter 2021 Men’s show. Through this collection, Virgil Abloh reinterprets the language of these sartorial codes, infusing them with varied values and using fashion as a transformative tool to challenge and redefine these assumptions.
