Happy birthday, Virgil. Virgil Abloh was born on September 30, 1980, in Rockford, Illinois. He would have turned 46 today. He trained as an architect before fashion ever called: civil engineering at UW–Madison, then a Master of Architecture at IIT. Off-White. Nike’s “The Ten.” Louis Vuitton menswear, where he became the first person of African descent to lead the house’s men’s collections. He built worlds, not just clothes. Every show was a room with an idea in it. This week his archive is still moving: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wore an unreleased Virgil Abloh Archive Air Force 1 at Thunder media day. Tell us the Virgil piece that stayed with you. #VirgilAbloh #OffWhite #LouisVuitton #Design #HubbleStudio | Hubble Studio
