\n\tWritten by Robin Givhan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning critic, Make It Ours \u201cis at once a remarkable biography of a singular creative force and a powerful meditation on fashion and race, taste and exclusivity, genius and luxury,\u201d and features interviews from Abloh\u2019s friends, collaborators, and peers. <\/p>\n
\n\tThe book, published by Crown, is available in hardcover and as an e-book from retailers like Amazon<\/a>, Barnes & Noble<\/a>, and Bookshop.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tMake It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh\t\t<\/p>\n \n\tVirgil Abloh rose to fame as the founder of streetwear label Off-White, before becoming the head of menswear design at Louis Vuitton in 2018 and the first Black designer to lead the storied French house. Abloh was also known for his involvement in the music industry, including leading Kanye West\u2019s creative agency, Donda. <\/p>\n \n\tAbloh died in 2021 from a rare form of cancer, and was succeeded at Louis Vuitton by his friend, Pharrell Williams, who paid tribute to the designer after his death, writing \u201cVirgil you were a kind, generous, thoughtful creative genius. Your work as a human and your work as a spiritual being will live forever.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tGivhan serves as a critic-at-large for The Washington Post and won a Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for fashion criticism. The book arrives amid an emerging spotlight on Black designers, including this year\u2019s Met Gala<\/a> theme, \u201cSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style,\u201d which was co-chaired by Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, and LeBron James and was held on May 5. The Gala was accompanied by a book of the same name<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[1022,171,12979,15216,67,132,68,15217],"class_list":{"0":"post-14919","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-noads","11":"tag-rs-recommends","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-virgil-abloh"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114746917559119458","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"'Make](\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
