Assouline and Louis Vuitton are releasing the title with two collector’s covers in the Assouline Classics collection. An excerpt from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2022 fashion show in Miami, with an image of a young child leaping towards a striking red Louis Vuitton hot air balloon, emblematic of the importance of youth in Virgil’s work. The other sports cartoon by cultural icon/artist Reggieknow, who illustrated the now cult characters in Virgil’s Spring/Summer 2021 show (a video featuring animated puppets entitled ‘The Adventures of Zooom with Friends’) – the first time Louis Vuitton has collaborated with a black artist on the runway. The book will also be available in an Ultimate Collection; packaged in a collectible box referencing Virgil’s use of shipping crates in the Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The Ultimate also includes a separate special insert that serves as a compendium for every Virgil sneaker designed for Louis Vuitton, including this year’s new Air Force 1s.
