WHO IS VIRGIL ABLOH

“Genius designer, a visionary, he was also a man with a beautiful soul and great wisdom."

-Bernard Arnault

Ghanaian-American creative director Virgil Abloh broke boundaries in the tradition-soaked fashion industry, bringing streetwear to the highest levels of the luxury market, as well as becoming one of the few Black designers to take the creative helm at a major luxury house.

The Life of Virgil Abloh

1980

Abloh was born on September 30 outside of Chicago. He and his sister are raised in nearby Rockford, by Ghanaian immigrant parents. Abloh attends the Boylan Catholic High School—official colors green and white—and graduates in 1998. His mother is a seamstress and teaches him the tricks of her trade.

2002

Abloh completes his undergraduate degree in civil engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. (In 2015, he would return to design commemorative tees for the university.) Rumor has it that on the day of his graduation, he skips his final critique to take a meeting with Kanye West’s then-manager John Monopoly. West and Abloh begin officially working together soon after.

HIS LEGACY

OFF-WHITE

Virgil Abloh founded Off-White™ in 2013 as a multi-platform creative endeavor, a space for his continuous experimentation. The main medium being fashion yet he combined ideas of streetwear, luxury, art, music, and architecture. Virgil's visionary approach to the medium of fashion remains iconoclastic and profoundly conceptual yet accessible to a broad global audience.
