Abloh-isms is a collection of essential quotations from American fashion designer， DJ， and stylist Virgil Abloh， who has established himself as a major creative figure in the worlds of pop culture and art。 Abloh began his career as Kanye West's creative director before founding the luxury streetwear label Off-White and becoming artistic director for Louis Vuitton， making Abloh the first American of African descent to hold that title at a French fashion house。 Defying categorization， Abloh's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums and galleries， most notably in a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago。 Gathered from interviews and other sources， this selection of compelling and memorable quotations from the designer reveals his thoughts on a wide range of subjects， including creativity， passion， innovation， race， and what it means to be an artist of his generation。 Lively and thought-provoking， these quotes reflect Abloh's unique perspective as a trailblazer in his fields。
