Louis Vuitton Destroyed Workwear Monogram Denim Blouson, Floral Panels, Indigo Cotton, 22AW, Size 52, Gently Worn

A Louis Vuitton workwear blouson from the 22AW season, woven in pale indigo monogram denim and broken open by panels of full-blown garden roses. Size 52, gently worn, with the house label sewn into a quilted cream lining.

The Piece

Few garments argue with themselves as beautifully as this one. The body is a cotton denim woven with the Louis Vuitton monogram flower and initials in tone-on-tone cream, the familiar emblem of the Paris house. Across the back, the shoulders and the pockets, that pattern appears to have been worn through, and beneath it a floral tapestry of roses, peonies and leaves in rose, butter yellow and sage surfaces like a hidden lining. The effect is deliberately distressed: frayed edges trace each torn-looking panel, and the workwear cut, with its pointed collar, front zip and patch pockets, gives the decoration a soldierly frame.

The hem is cropped and boxy, the shoulder relaxed, and the inside is lined in quilted cream. Worn open over a plain shirt it reads as a collector's jacket; zipped to the chin it becomes a single sweep of blue and flowers. On the hanger the back view is the most arresting, which is why it leads this gallery.

Measured flat: shoulder width 58 cm (22.8 in), body width 70 cm (27.6 in), length 71 cm (28.0 in), sleeve length 65 cm (25.6 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
