Virgil Abloh's latest collection unfolds in a cinematic forest where kung fu and raving collide.

The Louis Vuitton Men&rsquo;s Spring/Summer 2022 collection presents a duality of the modern men&rsquo;s tailoring designer Virgil Abloh has established at the maison, and the streetwear influence that appeals to younger fashion consumers. Showing tracksuits alongside traditional suits, Abloh merges a club-kid aesthetic and formal dressing. Down to the shoes, a brand-new co-branded Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1 sneaker, the house codes are reinvigorated with Abloh&#39;s vision of menswear.

Creating a fashion film to unveil the collection, models appear in a sparse forest backdrop, playing out a storyline that was inspired by a Japanese kung fu movie, Lone Wolf and Cub. A face-off in a dojo pits the two sartorial camps against each other&mdash;the suits against the young ravers. To top off the atmosphere, artists GZA, Goldie, Saul Williams, Lupe Fiasco, and Shabaka Hutching feature on the show&#39;s soundtrack, as well as appear in the collection&#39;s film.

Along with the juxtaposed suits versus tracksuits, fluid silhouettes in the form of dresses and skirts are also styled amidst the menswear, speaking to luxury fashion&#39;s move towards gender fluidity. Accessories include new soft trunks and artistic Keepall bags, which complement the collection&#39;s saturated palette of rainbows and neons.
