Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech

Why it matters

Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech belongs in Design Books because it documents how Abloh moved between fashion, art, branding, objects, and visual systems with a highly referential design language. It expands the list without duplicating the books already covering the same ground.
