The exhibition “Figures of Speech” will feature a mix of fashion, large sculptures, videos & sketches spanning Virgil’s two decades of his influential work in the fashion industry and beyond. This exhibit will serve as a rendition of the 2019 museum of contemporary art Chicago’s exhibit of the same name, which was the first dedicated display of Abloh’s work.
