<p>The Spring/Summer 2022 collection was first unveiled in June 2021 in a phygital format. Highlighting the designer&rsquo;s fluency in artistic disciplines (he was also a DJ, photographer, furniture designer, and more) Abloh found inspiration from Amen Break, a 1969 drum solo that has been sampled in hip hop music countless times. The collection thus ruminates on the &ldquo;myth of ownership in contemporary creativity.&rdquo; Similar to the soundtrack of the runway&mdash;which featured samples that spanned genres and cultures from Abloh&rsquo;s friend and creative collaborator Kanye West, to jazz legend Miles Davis, to Brazilian pop&mdash;the clothes re-iterate and ideate. For fashion, that means expanding and exploring themes that are already echoing throughout modern menswear. Tailored suits give a taste of the traditional, tracksuits and a special Nike sneaker collaboration speak to streetwear culture, and dresses and skirts embrace gender fluidity. The repetition of these elements throughout the collection reflect Abloh&rsquo;s ability to ceaselessly conceptualize through design.</p>
