A meeting of minds between artistic director Virgil Abloh and streetwear pioneer Nigo, the highly-anticipated collaboration (finally) launches today

When Louis Vuitton teased a forthcoming partnership between artistic director Virgil Abloh and streetwear legend Nigo <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/men/old-habits-die-hard-virgil-abloh-takes-on-tradition-for-louis-vuitton-men-s-pre-fall-2020">last December</a>, there was no doubt that it would be the hottest collaboration of 2020. And now, after months of eager anticipation, the wait is finally over, because the first <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/men/virgil-abloh-unveils-first-louis-vuitton-collaboration-lv-bape-founder-nigo">LV</a>&sup2; (or Louis Vuitton Squared) drop arrives in stores and online today.

Fusing the aesthetic sensibilities of the two visionaries, the expectation-defying capsule of ready-to-wear and accessories is less streetwear and more Savile Row, reflecting Nigo&rsquo;s early fascination with British subcultures as well as the sartorial elegance Abloh has been promulgating in his <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/men/see-all-the-looks-from-the-louis-vuitton-men-s-fall-2020-show">recent menswear outings</a>. Think mod-era London dandies seen through a Tokyo lens.

Central to the collection is an intriguing patchwork motif, created by &ldquo;melting&rdquo; the LV Monogram over Damier checks with a drip effect reminiscent of Nigo&rsquo;s previous work for Ice Cream. The pattern is rendered in denim on jackets, trousers, and bob hats through the use of cut-outs, embroidery, and printing, and in leather on the Keepall Bandouli&egrave;re, Soft Trunk, Campus Backpack, and Amazone Messenger. &nbsp;

The dedicated LV&sup2; logo appears on a range of everyday wear options, including a grey sweatshirt, a black zip-through hoodie, and a gold chain necklace. Accessories and small leather goods, on the other hand, are accented with adorable animal graphics such as a duck, a turtle, and a polar bear, all inscribed with the words &ldquo;LV Made&rdquo; &mdash;&nbsp;a reference to Nigo and his Human Made signature, but reinterpreted &agrave; la Louis Vuitton.

Take a closer look at the collection in the gallery below.
