Virgil Abloh Is Releasing a Book of His Harvard Lecture
Launching with “live print” covers at Venice Biennale.
Following on from his sold-out “Insert Complicated Title Here” lecture at Harvard last year, Virgil Abloh has now announced plans for a book of the talk. Launching at the ongoing Venice Biennale, the book is part of “The Incidents” series from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and will print various aspects of the talk.
Key themes in Abloh’s lecture include a “cheat code” of advice he wishes he had received, as well as how to cultivate a “personal design language” and a behind-the-scenes look at his design process. At the book launch — at Grafiche Veneziane — Abloh is set to “live print” unique book covers that will be available at the event. Following the Venice launch, the 96-page book is set to get a wider release and will retail at $14 USD.
In related news, Virgil also gifted his collaborative Nike football jerseys to his old high school.
