City Exclusive Belts: Louis Vuitton Men’s Collection By Virgil Abloh Fall-Winter 2021
Luxferity, 01.12.2021
Louis Vuitton launches a capsule collection of nine belts in the select colours of nine global cities.
This season Virgil Abloh reinvented the LV Pyramide belt first seen on the Fall-Winter 2021 runway. The belt with its bevel-edged buckle returns in a capsule collection of nine exclusive versions, spotlighting nine cities that held a special place in the heart of Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Artistic Director.
Featuring Monogram canvas on one face and soft calfskin on the other, the belt retains the iconic LV buckle. Virgil Abloh drew on his streetwear inspirations and influences, notably the image of crushed cars, to treat the buckle with a distinct finish. The metal is artfully eroded to reveal a new colour pairing that coordinates with the leather of the belt. Each is crafted by the deft hands of Louis Vuitton artisans, making every item unique.
The new design is available in nine colourways, each associated with one world city – green and purple for Bangkok, red and black for Hong Kong, yellow and blue for London, and pink and blue for Paris. The city name is displayed in a popping colour combination of its own on each face of the belt, both the Monogram canvas and the leather side. All belts are reversible, so you can mix it up depending on your mood or your outfit, and each can be found exclusively in a limited edition at the flagship store of its namesake city.
