Louis Vuitton has released one of its last footwear silhouettes designed by Virgil Abloh. Known as the LV Driver loafer, the moccasins are the first — and last — LV Drivers ever designed by the late artistic director. Each features Louis Vuitton’s monogram pattern alongside signature touches by Abloh including tonal suede and splashes of purple.
The LV Driver loafers series premiered at Louis Vuitton’s Pre-Fall 2022 show, the last runway show featuring designs by Abloh. The collection exemplifies a “boyhood ideology,” according to the luxury label, and highlights streetwear silhouettes such as bucket hats and oversized chains. Speaking to Virgil’s “bootleg” design process, pieces from the capsule also came covered in heavy graphics, embroidery, and hand-bleached details for an undone finish.
