Synopsis
The essential volume on the great fashion designer, entrepreneur and Louis Vuitton artistic director, back in print This authoritative Virgil Abloh compendium, created by the designer himself, accompanies his acclaimed landmark 2019-23 touring exhibition and offers in-depth analysis of his career and his inspirations. More than a catalog, Figures of Speech is a 500-page user's manual to Abloh's genre-bending work in art, fashion and design. The first section features essays and an interview that examine Abloh's oeuvre through the lenses of contemporary art history, architecture, streetwear, high fashion and race, to provide insight into a prolific and impactful career that cuts across mediums, connecting visual artists, musicians, graphic designers, fashion designers, major brands and architects. The book also contains a massive archive of images culled from Abloh's personal files on major projects, revealing behind-the-scenes snapshots, prototypes, inspirations and more--accompanied by intimate commentary from the artist. Finally, a gorgeous full-color plate section offers a detailed view of Abloh's work across disciplines. Virgil Abloh (1980-2021) was a fashion designer and entrepreneur, and the artistic director of Louis Vuitton's men's wear collection from 2018 to 2021. He was also CEO of the Milan-based label Off-White, a fashion house he founded in 2013. Born in Rockford, Illinois, to Ghanaian parents, he entered the world of fashion with an internship at Fendi in 2009 alongside rapper Kanye West. The two began an artistic collaboration that would launch Abloh's career with the founding of Off-White. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2018.

Not very happy. Package came in terrible condition. Book was damaged as per pictures. Could have put 3 books in this box. White stickers on box for reinforcement. Just very careless. I sent a message about pkg. when I purchased.

Was a little disappointed in this purchase. First of all the book arrived very late ( almost three weeks after I ordered it). Secondly it is an anonymous third party publisher scanned and reprinted copy of 18th century original text (in public domain) so some sections were barely legible. Definitely not worth $30.00 price. That being said book binding was new and well bound and book was well packaged arrived in excellent condition.

Item in perfect condition. Rare book to find! I've waited decades to obtain this item! The price was very reasonable. Packaged and wrapped securely. Fast shipment and efficient service. Those interested in patristics and ancient church literature and tradition should obtain this volume. I am looking forward to future transactions with this business outfit.
