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. <p/>Select quotations from the book: </p><ul><li>"I believe that coincidence is key, but coincidence is energies coming towards each other. You have to be moving to meet it."</li><li>"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."</li><li>"Black influence has created a new ecosystem, which can grow and support different types of life that we couldn't before."</li><li>"Like it or not, irrelevance is death."</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Abloh-isms</i> is the new Bible for all the fans of the American designer. . . .
