Louis Vuitton x Nigo Giant Damier Waves MNGM Denim JacketIndigo

Product Description

The Louis Vuitton x Nigo Giant Damier Waves MNGM Denim Jacket in Indigo is a piece from the landmark 2020 collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Nigo — the Japanese cultural entrepreneur, founder of A BATHING APE, and lifelong Louis Vuitton devotee whose personal relationship with the house's aesthetic formed the foundation for one of Louis Vuitton's most culturally significant menswear collaborations of the 2020s — applying the Giant Damier Waves pattern, a large-scale version of Louis Vuitton's Damier checkerboard canvas rendered in a wavy, distorted form that references both Japanese graphic design and the house's archival pattern, to a denim jacket construction in Indigo. The Damier Waves motif is one of the most distinctive and most technically ambitious pattern treatments created specifically for the Nigo collaboration, with the wave distortion of the standard Damier's precise grid creating a pattern that feels simultaneously vintage, Japanese, and unmistakably Louis Vuitton without being a direct reproduction of any single archival element. The MNGM designation references the monogram elements integrated into the pattern alongside the Damier Waves, combining the house's two most iconic surface patterns into a single garment that is the most densely Louis Vuitton-branded and most archivally complex piece in the collaboration's denim range. Released June 26, 2020 at $2,690 retail through Louis Vuitton's retail locations globally.
