Robin Givhan on Virgil Abloh

@ Illinois Tech - Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship

3241 S Federal St, Chicago, IL 60616

Opening Saturday, October 4th, from 5PM - 6PM

The late creative visionary Virgil Abloh upended a century’s worth of ideas about luxury and taste, fundamentally reshaping how we see creativity and the world around us. Join us at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Abloh’s alma mater, as Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic and fashion editor Robin Givhan illuminates Abloh’s impact on fashion, race, and exclusivity. Givhan is joined in conversation by curator Michael Darling, whose close collaborative relationship with Abloh at the Museum of Contemporary Art helps to further unfold the story of a young man from Rockford with no formal training in patternmaking or tailoring who came to symbolize the industry’s way forward.
