RUNWAY: Louis Vuitton FW19

Even prior to today's Louis Vuitton FW19 show, Virgil Abloh announced that Michael Jackson was his inspiration for this collection. That was quite apparent from the glittery gloves worn by some models (though none sported the iconic single glove like MJ did), as well as references to Jackson's style via military insignia and a tee with his widely-recognizable footwear. Elsewhere in the collection, flags played a big part, as seen on an American-flag embossed coat, including flag-draped bags, and a dual-flag collar with both the US's flag and that of Ghana - which represent Abloh's heritage. In all, it was a pretty strong collection, the monogram-embossed puffer vest was genius from a commercial aspect, as were many of the accessories.
