• Originally from Illinois, near Chicago, Virgil Abloh graduated in civil engineering, but also in architecture, an industrial discipline that will perpetually inspire his artistic work.

  • At only 22 years old, he is one of Kanye West's close collaborators and will be responsible for the artistic direction of the legendary " Watch the Throne" album , alongside Riccardo Tisci . He is also known as a DJ.

  • It was finally in 2012, six years after a first internship at Fendi , that Virgil Abloh launched with Pyrex Vision, a label by which he distributed ultra-sharp streetwear pieces, as well as iconic ready-to-wear (T Champion shirts, Ralph Lauren polos ...) on which he simply affixes his logo. What create the scandal ... and bring out his name.

  • In 2013, he created Off-White , his own brand of ready-to-wear with which he reveals all his stylistic dexterity, with silhouettes blending street inspirations and sophisticated execution. Some see the worthy heir of Raf Simons or Martin Margiela , others a prodigy catching the air of the time in a striking way. In a few seasons, this bulimic of social networks becomes THE creator of the moment, adulated millenials as celebrities. In 2015, he is among the finalists of the prestigious LVMH award.



  • With this fashionable hype , Virgil Abloh willingly lends itself willingly to the game of bankable collaborations, signing both sneakers "collector" for Nike that tote-bags Ikea . Named today by one of the largest French luxury houses, this father, married, has already said that he will maintain his brand Off-White as his personal projects. His first fashion show for Louis Vuitton will be held next June, in Paris, at the next Men's Fashion Week.
