Have you guys seen the exhibit yet?” Abloh politely says in the middle of the scrum, while at the same time sending a subtle cue for everyone to walk in and leave him alone. “It’s two feet away. All these questions can be answered inside.”

This exhibition is designed by Samir Bantal, Director of AMO, the research and design studio of OMA.

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. Exhibition curator Michael Darling says he and Abloh hope to to draw younger visitors interested in fashion as an art form to the museum. In addition to the Nike custom space and the exhibition, Abloh opened a Louis Vuitton pop-up store near the museum. Running until July, it will feature his fall ’19 men’s collection. Both locations will also be working with the MCA to bring their consumers to “Figures of Speech.” Where previous iterations of the exhibition were designed by Samir Bantal, director of the research arm of Dutch studio OMA, the Brooklyn Museum's space was created by designer Mahfuz Sultan in collaboration with creatives from Alaska Alaska – Abloh's London-based design studio – as well as Lance Singletary of the Brooklyn Museum.This fall, the High presents the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of Virgil Abloh, the modern, genre-bending artist and designer who became creative director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear in 2018. Nothing can replace travel,” Abloh tells a design teacher who asks for one piece of advice to relay to his students. “One thing you can’t cheat is seeing other parts of the world.” Remember Abloh’s first Paris Fashion Week, which was documented in an iconic Tommy Ton photo (also on display at the exhibition) and lampooned on South Park? He couldn’t get into any fashion shows that year, and he says he was a tourist. In collaboration with Virgil Abloh, IKEA presents MARKERAD, a collection of contemporary items designed to make a statement in your first home. The limited-edition collection consisting of 15 products.
