Saying Virgil Abloh has been busy is an understatement. In addition to just revealing his Spring/Summer 2019 collection for Off-White™, Abloh has also just debuted his designs for Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2019. And if that wasn’t enough, the popular creative has now opened the doors to the exhibition “TECHNICOLOR 2” alongside Takashi Murakami.

The show which is being held at Gagosian Paris continues the partnership between Abloh and Murakami. Earlier this year, Abloh had his solo show called “PAY PER VIEW” at Murakami’s KaiKai KiKi Gallery in Japan. “TECHNICOLOR 2” is now the main art event to see in Paris while fashion week is in motion. There have already been exclusive T-Shirts made for the exhibition which parallels the showcase’s colorful themes. Watch our interview with both the visionaries below.

Check out an exclusive inside look above and if you haven’t seen it yet, watch the emotional exchange between Kanye West and Virgil Abloh at the recent LV show.
