Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech

Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech is an impressive catalog of the life work of one of the most influential artists of this century

Why can I say about this man’s work that hasn’t already been said? Suffice to say that his genius was inspiring to me and incredibly exciting to experience. The visual, the intellectual and his far reaching vision have assaulted my senses in way in which few could ever. For this I’m eternally grateful. It’s been dopamine for my soul. Thank you Sir. Virgil Forever.

The book is dominated by pictures showing his work and inspirations, but Virgil also includes great written insight into the thought process behind some of his creations. I thought it was so cool to look through his early sketchbook drawings and school assignments, and then hear his take on them and why they shaped his perception of the world today. Despite knowing the level of success Virgil has achieved in his career, the inclusion of his early stage work made everything he's done seem realistically achievable with the right work ethic, and it left me feeling very inspired.

I love the layout and mixture of page sizes and materials. Not something you often point out regarding a book, but it applies here.

VIRGIL FOREVER 🕊

I got this as a gift for a friend. He was very excited to receive it. It’s heavy and full of photographs and information. Fans of fashion, art and/or Virgil Abloh would love this book.

I've been a fan of Virgil for a while & was excited to make this purchase. I have similar look-books by other designers & I'm so happy to have added Virgil to my personal collection.

Received a week ago but just getting to this now.Open the box and first thing I noticed was the spine is detached from the hardcover, is this supposed to be?I decided to exchange for another one to see the difference, and received again in the same format, so it seems it’s the new style of hardbacks. Great content.
