A remarkable biography of a singular creative force and a powerful meditation on fashion and race * Rolling Stone * Toggling between biography and cultural history, Givhan . . . offers an illuminating analysis of [Virgil] Abloh’s middle-class, first-generation American upbringing, one that suggests his quiet confidence and seeming unflappability were deliberately cultivated * The New York Times * Robin’s look into the life and work of the late, great, Virgil Abloh is thoughtful, intelligent, honest and masterfully crafted. Virgil’s freethinking and influence on the possibilities of what creativity can be was a tour de force. * Marc Jacobs * Virgil was a rule breaker who always had his finger on the pulse, and Robin Givhan’s unique perspective and meticulous research expertly chronicles his unconventional path and meteoric rise in fashion. Thought-provoking, emotional, and illuminating, this book is a definite must-read! * Tom Ford *
