Abloh began his career as Kanye West's creative director before founding the luxury streetwear label Off-White and becoming artistic director for Louis Vuitton, making Abloh the first American of African descent to hold that title at a French fashion house. Defying categorization, Abloh's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums and galleries, most notably in a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Gathered from interviews and other sources, this selection of compelling and memorable quotations from the designer reveals his thoughts on a wide range of subjects, including creativity, passion, innovation, race, and what it means to be an artist of his generation. Lively and thought-provoking, these quotes reflect Abloh's unique perspective as a trailblazer in his fields.   Select quotations from the book:\"I believe that coincidence is key, but coincidence is energies coming towards each other. You have to be moving to meet it.\"\"Life is collaboration. Where I think art can be sort of misguided is that it propagates this idea of itself as a solo love affair-one person, one idea, no one else involved.\"\"Black influence has created a new ecosystem, which can grow and support different types of life that we couldn't before.\"\"Like it or not, irrelevance is death.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41185478574232,"sku":"9780691213798","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/products\/9780691213798.jpg?v=1635015761","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780691213798","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
