Virgil Abloh recruits Octavian, Héctor Bellerín and more for Louis Vuitton's SS 2020 menswear show
Artists, actors, skaters become models
Virgil Abloh is no stranger to culture beyond fashion. Beyond his title as creator of Off-White and Men's Artistic Director for high-fashion house Louis Vuitton, he's also a hot-ticket DJ who recently locked in his own residency in Las Vegas and a skater, to name a few.
For his recent Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2020 menswear collection runway show in Paris, Virgil brought together an unlikely group of familiar faces to act as runway models for his latest collection.
Among the newly recruited models included rapper Octavian (who previously also walked in the Louis Vuitton SS 2019 show and is longtime friends with Abloh), Arsenal footballer Héctor Bellerín, Australian actor Keiynan Lonsdale, professional skaters Lucien Clarke and Evan Mock and more.
