He operates in the realms of Art, Design, and Culture in conjunction with advocacy, mentoring, and philanthropy in the spaces he occupies. After earning a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he completed a master's degree in Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago. At IIT, while studying a Bauhaus design curriculum devised by Mies van der Rohe, Abloh began to craft the principles of his broader art practice. The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presented a major traveling survey of Abloh's work in summer 2019--one of the highest attended exhibitions in the museum's history. Currently, Abloh is the Chief Creative Director and founder of Off-White(TM)️ and Men's Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton, amongst other endeavors.","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50593186283794,"sku":"9783836585095","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a7e01bc9-7b60-4017-8918-600a243d6217.jpg?v=1732112574","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/virgil-abloh-nike-9783836585095","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
