With a revamped retrospective set to arrive at New York's Brooklyn Museum, the late artist and designer's collaborators open up about why — and how — his work continues to live on. Everything Virgil Abloh did—from his work designing for Off-White and as artistic director for menswear at Louis Vuitton to his forays into art, music, film, and design to his collaborations with brands like Nike and Ikea—seemed irrepressibly democratic and forward-moving. It’s a concept central to the new Brooklyn Museum edition of the touring exhibition “Virgil Abloh: ‘Figures of Speech,’” which opens on July 1.
