Virgil Abloh is the creative director at LV, and has spoken openly of his love of architecture, and the pieces are a reflection of the literal skyline of places he’s lived. But if you hate them, you can be sure these impossibly expensive items won’t showing up at your local boutique anytime soon. Via Dezeen:
