‘Ebonics’ Louis Vuitton Fall 21 Menswear Collection, an Ode to Black Lives Matter

Virgil Abloh’s sixth collection, named ‘Ebonics,’ came with a film directed by Josh Johnson.

“When I grew up, my father wore Kente cloth, with nothing beneath it, to family weddings, funerals, graduations. When he went to an American wedding, he wore a suit. I merged those two together, celebrating my Ghanaian culture. Add LV patterns to the cloth, drape it, then pair and compare it again with tartan checks, and the result is indeed something new. So too, the diagonal green-on-white print on a leather motocross suit. A memory of the wax print fabric my mom had around the house when I was growing up. She was the one who taught me to sew; and she had learned it with a tailor in Ghana.
