The car was released after his passing and in honour of Virgil Abloh’s life, who was a prolific fashion designer who had previously worked on Mercedes-Benz’s Geländewagen car and passed away last year at the age of 41.
Louis Vuitton’s late artistic director of menswear and Off-White founder Virgil Abloh was well-versed in the art of collaboration. His impressive career was shaped by partnerships with the likes of Nike, Nigo’s Humanmade, Evian, Heron Preston, Jacob and Co, Levi’s, Moncler and A$AP Rocky’s label Awge. Arguably, one of his best collaborative projects was with Mercedes-Benz, which came to life in 2020.
Project Geländewagen Abloh recast Mercedes-Benz’s iconic G-Class as a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Working in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz’s Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener, Abloh gave the iconic G-Class a sporty update. It came with a more stripped-back, streamlined silhouette than the 2001 OG automobile, and the indicators, outside mirrors and bumper bar were all removed.
