Virgil Was Here

About This Movie

So, 'Virgil Was Here' is a bit of a different beast, more like a memorial than a traditional film. It captures Louis Vuitton's homage to Virgil Abloh—a creative force—highlighting the Spring-Summer 2022 Collection presented in Miami. The atmosphere is electric, almost celebratory, showcasing a collision of fashion and art that Abloh epitomized. It’s paced more like a fashion show than a narrative, flowing through stunning visuals and vibrant performances that reflect Abloh’s unique vision. What stands out here is not just the clothes but the palpable sense of loss and celebration woven throughout, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of fashion film.

This piece was released in a limited run, making it somewhat scarce among collectors. Its focus on a pivotal figure in fashion adds to its allure, with many enthusiasts keen on preserving a piece of Abloh's legacy. The documentary style combined with fashion show elements creates an interesting viewing experience that separates it from more traditional film formats, appealing to both fashion aficionados and cinephiles alike.
