Not What I Thought: Virgil Abloh, RIP

Virgil Abloh passed away this past weekend, and I came across a lecture he gave at my grad school alma mater, which gave me a very different understanding of his work, his intentions, and his personality.

Turns out, I was wrong about a lot of it. I still don’t understand why athletes would play their sport with plastic tags hanging off their shoes, and the extensive use of “quotation marks” still seems over-used to me, but listening to the man himself talk was a wonderfully eye-opening experience.
