People like to hate on Abloh, and whether these critiques are valid or not, the influential, boundary-free way of thinking the designer has brought to the industry over the past decade can’t be denied.
From injecting unscripted storytelling around product; to cross-pollinating creative disciplines to rethink what, and who, is touched by products; to setting an example of what it means to give back to communities that are systematically kept out of the industry; to serving as fashion’s most visible cultural curator — without anyone’s permission, Abloh has shown what the industry could become, if it only opened its mind.
