Life By DESIGN Charmaine Mischel

Explore the unique Designer journey of the visionary,
VIRGIL ABLOH who singlehandedly inspired a generation of young creatives to dream beyond traditional boundaries.

His success with his second brand launch, “Off-White,” was a precursor to the historic moment when he became the first African American artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear collection in 2018.

Abloh’s rich career is a testament to the fact that the
real essence of design lies in its ability to connect, to challenge, and to transform.
