Virgil Abloah: Columbia Spring 2017 GSAPP Lecture

As usual Virgil Abloh drops some gems as he goes through an imaginative, though somewhat unorganized, lecture for the Columbia GSAPP. Anyone who appreciates fashion, architecture, or engineering and doesn't know who Virgil Abloh is is doing themselves a disservice! Ranging from buildings he's designed, working with Kanye, shoe game, the recent FW17 Off White fashion show, and his ideas on art, culture, and design, Abloh brings us along on a tour de force on art and culture that is both exhilarating and enthralling.

Goal #1 for 2017...

 

Craft a new sound combining Tropical House, Afro House, Hip Hop, Afrobeat, Afropop, and Igbo Highlife.
