Louis Vuitton introduces its new Pre-Spring menswear collection for 2023 and it is aptly named the Concert Goer. It follows the coming of age theme that was developed by the late Virgil Abloh as the house continues to explore his vision through music.
By looking at the musical journey of someone, the brand develops a mirrored evolution of clothing and how it fuses with the past, present, and future. The designs are captured at the beautiful Centre National de la Danse in Paris, breaking up the capsule into two chapters. The Concert Goer kicks off the range with oversized looks and workwear design aesthetics. The second chapter is named the Music Student, which features traditional suits with elevated accents.
