Ībloh enlisted trusted collaborators including Tremaine Emory to co-create limited-edition hoodies and T-shirts emblazoned with “FOS” (“Figures of Speech”) that are only available at the High’s exhibition. “Church & State” features pieces from the brand Pyrex Vision, Abloh’s first foray into fashion, along with a limited number of signature Off-White pieces, furniture from his studio Alaska Alaska, and special-edition gear created for the show. Building on his fame and dominance in streetwear culture, Abloh created the “Church & State” pop-up store to present special collection pieces that commemorate important moments in the lifecycle of his brand.

The works on view will offer an in-depth look at the defining highlights of Abloh’s career, including his recent designs for Louis Vuitton menswear collection, video documentation of his most iconic fashion shows, and his distinctive furniture and graphic design work. Running throughout the exhibition is an emphasis on dialogue, which Abloh creates through his inventive use of language and quotation marks, turning the objects he designs and the people who wear his clothing into “figures of speech.” The exhibition presents prototypes alongside finished artworks, product designs, and fashion to reveal his myriad inspirations-from centuries-old paintings to commonplace construction signs. Virgil Abloh: “Figures of Speech” offers an unprecedented survey of Abloh’s creative work over nearly two decades and pulls back the curtain on his process. This fall, the High presents the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of Virgil Abloh, the modern, genre-bending artist and designer who became creative director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear in 2018.
