About the program
The late creative visionary Virgil Abloh upended a century’s worth of ideas about luxury and taste, fundamentally reshaping how we view creativity and the world around us. Join Chicago Humanities 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 further unfold the story of a young man from Rockford—with no formal training in patternmaking or tailoring—who came to symbolize the fashion industry’s way forward.
This program is presented by Chicago Humanities and Illinois Tech.
