He first came to global prominence in 2010 when Kanye West, with whom Abloh interned at Fendi the year prior, made him creative director of his creative agency Donda. In 2011, his art direction for West and JAY-Z&#8217;s album <i>Watch The Throne<\/i> received a Grammy nomination. The following year, his line Pyrex Vision stirred acclaim, controversy, and undeniable influence with its $40 Polo shirts screen-printed and resold for $550.<\/p>\n<p>            In 2013, Abloh founded Off-White, the company that would solidify his growing prestige in the fashion world. Abloh was nominated for the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in 2015, the only American nominated that year, and Off-White storefronts around the world soon followed. 2018 saw Abloh named as artistic director at Louis Vuitton. &#8220;I now have a platform to change the industry,&#8221; Abloh, the first African American to hold the role, told <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gq-magazine.co.uk\/article\/virgil-abloh-interview-2018\"><i>GQ<\/i><\/a> at the time. &#8220;So I should.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            His career would be marked with dozens of collaborations with some of the biggest brands in the world, including Nike and Ikea, but Abloh never lost an intense enthusiasm for and engagement with the world of hip-hop. An avid DJ who played festivals around the world, Abloh would oversee the art direction for rap projects such as Kanye West&#8217;s <i>My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy<\/i> and <i>Yeezus<\/i>, Lil Uzi Vert\u2019s <i>Luv Is Rage 2<\/i>, and A$AP Rocky\u2019s <i>Long.Live.ASAP<\/i>.
