“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
In this new collection, Louis Vuitton’s Virgil Abloh investigates the presumptions we make about people based on the way they dress—our cultural background, gender, and sexuality all influence our dressing, and this collection strives to illuminate and neutralize the prejudice around dress codes, changing the human values associated with them.
The message is simple: to create the same opportunities, dreams, and freedom for children of all races, genders and sexualities. The presentation was informed by James Baldwin’s 1953 essay _Stranger in the Village_ which dealt with Baldwin’s conflict of being an African American man living in a Swiss village, ultimately reflecting on being a Black artist in a white-dominated art world.
