Guests can enter free of charge until May 31.

Though tucked away in the weeds of Brooklyn, the warehouse housing the exhibition is hard to miss. Just outside, an enormous sculpture of a Louis Vuitton model in a handstand position greets guests with a bang. The entire building is done up in Abloh’s Louis Vuitton palette of rich oranges and reds, transforming the location entirely.

As a longtime collaborator with Nike, Abloh’s creative pursuits with the athleticwear company had already reached insurmountable heights of success. In February 2021,announced record-breaking numbers in the sale of fashion items; a lot of 200 LV x Nike shoes went for $25.3 million dollars. As you enter the exhibition itself, you are transported right away into the mind of Abloh with a sign that reads “Dream Now.” In the fully white space, there are Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1’s along the walls. Upstairs in a house recreated by Abloh’s team, you can find the designer’s working mood board for the collaboration just as he left it.

Amongst the buzzing crowd of fashion fluent attendees, Louis Vuitton was the look of choice, to no surprise. Guests included Vashtie, Imaan Hammam, Samuel Ross, and Futura; a shortlist of individuals Abloh collaborated with. The evening closed with performances by producer Metro Boomin and Atlanta rapper 21 Savage, who Abloh openly celebrated and gave a platform.
