L’autore
Virgil Abloh (1980–2021) was a multi-hyphenate creative that often rejected classification on creativity. He operated in the realms of Art, Design, and Culture in conjunction with advocacy, mentoring, and philanthropy in the spaces he occupied. After earning a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he completed a master’s degree in Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago. At IIT, while studying a Bauhaus design curriculum devised by Mies van der Rohe, Abloh began to craft the principles of his broader art practice. The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presented a major traveling survey of Abloh’s work in summer 2019―one of the highest attended exhibitions in the museum’s history. Abloh was the Chief Creative Director and founder of Off-White™️ and from 2018 to 2021 Men’s Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton, amongst other endeavors.
