After Louis Vuitton’s men’s Spring Summer 2020 show, Virgil Abloh appeared in front of the cameras in an unexpected electric blue Arc’teryx Rush Jacket underlining the boundary-blurring between sport and fashion, between performance and lifestyle, and bringing streetwear, outerwear and luxury fashion under one umbrella.
Virgil has been wearing an array of Arc’teryx gear in recent months. The Canadian outdoor brand that is also dubbed as “Dead bird” by aficionados due to the brand’s logo of an Archaeopteryx lithographica, then also played a major role in his latest fashion show. Arc’teryx made its fashion show debut in Paris, with supermodel sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid donning half-gown and half technical shells made by one of my personal favourite brands for getting high into the mountains.
