Louis Vuitton x Wizard of Oz

In today’s lecture we learnt about how fashion takes inspiration from everything, whether that be film, art, photography, architecture, theatre, or dance. Afterwards I wanted to find an example that represented this successfully. Whilst scrolling through Dazed and Confused’s Instragram platform I saw a post about Virgil Abloh’s debut collection for Louis Vuitton, which is all inspired by the classic film ‘The Wizard of Oz’. From the collection itself, to the pop-up store the whole thing is Oz themed. I do like this concept, maybe because I’m a fan of the movie, or maybe just because I think it’s a cool idea to continue a theme of clothing onto a pop-up store that people can experience themselves. Leading up to the store people are encouraged to “walk the yellow brick road” which is a play on famous The Wizard of Oz line. Wild forests and poppy fields are also to be used, for an extra magical experience.
