i-D steps inside Virgil Abloh's first museum show
,” is now open at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Abloh rose through the ranks as part of Kanye West’s creative agency team, working on album covers and merchandising. The splash he made in 2013 launching his own Milan-based label, Off-White, eventually became a turning of the tide when he was appointed Men’s Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton in 2018.

You can't do everything or take on every possible topic. I would love to see someone do a comprehensive, exhaustive look at Off-White, from start to finish, someday.

Some of Virgil’s work makes overt art references — like a sweatshirt with Caravaggio for Pyrex Vision or a bag with “Sculpture" written on it from Off-White’s"Nothing New” collection. Is there anything in the exhibition that talks about his direct engagement with art?
For Virgil, one of the exciting things about the Louis Vuitton opportunity is the chance to have more of a global reach and a platform for his ideas about youth and streetwear culture—and the democratization of rebelliousness that comes from streetwear culture. Trying to bring that ethos into this luxury brand that has this global reach is super exciting. He is always mindful of people who can't shop at Louis Vuitton. He’s doing things that still speak to them and are available to them.
