Profile

Achievement
Virgil Abloh took his strong 2016 and effectively kept the ball rolling, shaking up the streetwear scene with hyped Off-White™ collaborations alongside brands such as Umbro, Moncler, KITH and Nike. The latter brought to life a string of highly-coveted footwear collaborations that included the new iterations of the Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air VaporMax, and the Air Jordan 1, among others, as “TEN ICONS RECONSTRUCTED.” The art director, music producer and long-term Kanye West collaborator has gone on to direct the video to one of the summer’s hottest hits, “XO Tour Llif3” by artist Lil Uzi Vert and even designed his album cover with his signature use of quotations. Abloh continues to solidify his position in fashion by uniting with reputable labels and elevating his own brand with careful attention to design.
