Virgil Abloh says it with flowers for Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2020 collection, which offered a beautiful color palette and intricate floral details that, at times, resembled reverse paint splatter. This effect looked especially sharp on the denim and accessories by melding something so popular and street-friendly like paint splatter details and creating the effect by hand painting them on. Elsewhere, the best designs came in the form of the pastel garments in boxy and oversized proportions while the more experimental shapes and kite detailing looked a bit too referential to a certain English designer known for his structural runway looks and knotted details. Abloh also hand a few moments of self-reference by showcasing his signature harness (though, in LV talk, they're "bibs") in floral or reinterpreted with colored rope to create a more laid back look.

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.

Is Virgil Abloh the first of his name? Is he the breaker of chains? In some ways, yes. Virgil Abloh is the first black man to hold such a high position at Louis Vuitton. His appointment was swift and his first collection came together relatively quickly, something that newly minted creative directors are now accustomed. So, in this way, he is the first of him name, paving the way for others. Has he broken the chains that bound black designers from top spots at mega-sized houses? Possibly but the broken chain reference was more literal, as seen in the broken chains found on the bags Abloh showed on the rainbow carpet. Speaking of rainbows, which for the LGBTQ+ community, signals inclusivity, that's exactly what Abloh offered in terms of model representation.

As for the clothes themselves, you'd expect some buzzy items from undoubtedly the most talked about young designer and he did not disappoint with floral printed jackets and outerwear, one with Dorothy on it. The strongest pieces came from the monochromatic looks, whether they were languidly cut trousers in white or a minimalist suit in a rich vermilion. There were also sportier elements like the all bleached-denim look but the biggest departure for Abloh were in the tailored pieces, which signal that he's not taking his new position lying down and showing a more expensive version of Off-White. He's here to challenge himself in terms of design but also challenge the status quo with his very presence and influence. It's a kick in the butt that men's fashion seems to need and the watching public has been waiting for.

Steven Meisel and Alister Mackie shoot and style Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2018 collection, which might be the last campaign under the eye of its former men's style director, Kim Jones. A tropical vibe runs through the campaign featuring Noah Luis Brown, Oliver Houlby, and Sakua Kambong.

It's been a very busy week at Louis Vuitton headquarters in Paris. Not only was it Paris Fashion Week but it was announced that Kim Jones, the maison's men's style director, would be departing the storied French label and this FW18 collection would be his last. Whether or not the team knew of this departure long before or not, the symbolism of the circular runway was not lost. Jones, who has been with Vuitton for 7 years, has come full circle. He transformed the men's line into one of the most buzzed about collections every season and not just because it was Vuitton but because the clothes were cool.

If one has been following Jones' career at Vuitton, it is widely known that his collections are often inspired by his travels and his swan song was likely his most personal since many of the textural patterns seen are actual photographs he took while traveling; that landscape pattern on a trench? A photo Jones took while in a helicopter.

This collection was also the most rugged of his tenure. Though there was a suit or two to be seen, most of the collection was heavily influenced by rugged adventures from hiking to hunting. This isn't your grandfather's hiking boots or hunting gear, this is Louis Vuitton gear, the price of which is likely to be astronomical. There were some great accessories that are also sure to be a sell-out, like those camo-and-LV-monogram leggings or the sumptuous bags with Vuitton embossed on them. There were also some great and luxurious coats and shorts, done in Vicuna and cashmere, respectively. Just because they're rugged clothes, it doesn't mean it can't be expensive and luxurious.

...And finally there was that finale with two of the world's most famous models helping to close the show: Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss (Dominik Sadoch officially closed the show). Moss has given up modeling and instead focuses her energy and resources on her modeling agency but when your good friend Kim Jones calls asking for a favor to send him off into the sunset, you answer. The Vuitton trenches both supermodels wore are sure to be collectibles, as will the jumper Jones wore. It was a spectacular finale causing a raucous standing ovation for Jones whose next move has yet to be announced but our money is on the plum job at Burberry. The final bell of Jones' era at Vuitton has rung and what a final bell it was.

Island living is on display at Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2018 runway show. Kim Jones, the men's style director, created clothes that offered plenty for the active vacationer or island resident to wear. There were rubberized shirts and pants, resembling wetsuits, while wet haired models wore bucket hats to keep the sun out of their faces. There were also a plethora of bags, from mini trunks to fannypacks, to carry all of one's stuff from sunscreen to water. Floral patterned shirts were requisite and ever present within the collection and were cut loosely fitted; the trousers were similarly cut. Vuittion, arguably, is near the top of the apex when it comes to luxury so, of course, there were exotic skinned garments to go along with your island vacation.

Fabled French label Louis Vuitton collaborated with Fragment on a logo-centric collection that debuted recently in Tokyo, featuring plenty of accessories and some sportswear. The lookbook was shot by Pieter Hugo.

After months of rumors, Louis Vuitton showed off their collaboration with Supreme, the American skater brand. The resulting collection saw Kim Jones eschew any exotic locale like he usually does and instead offered a more laid back and youthful collection, with an emphasis on sportswear and street-inspired pieces instead of suits and tailoring. The coats were marvelous, from crocodile biker jackets with shearling to an iridescent chevron-patterned coat. Meanwhile, the sportier looks included fluid trousers, elongated knits and a myriad of Louis Vuitton and/or Supreme branded accessories from bags to scarves to shirts.
