At Stockholm Fashion Week 2017 fall/winter back in January, Virgil Abloh and Heron Preston took part in a talk and Q&A as part of the ‘SPACE by rmh‘ initiative by music collective TRANS 94. In the hour-long talk, the two designers focused on the relationship between their creative work and contemporary culture. Another key focus in the talk was the wide range of influences that feed into their work, with both Abloh and Preston discussing how fashion is linked to art, design, music or food, and how inspiration comes to them from a variety of angles.
