ELLE Speaks with OFF WHITE Creative Director Virgil Abloh

Sorry James Franco, but when it comes to the whole Renaissance Man thing, Virgil Abloh has you beat. A trained structural engineer, Mr. Abloh is also an architect, a gallery owner, a clothing designer, a DJ, and the creative director for Kanye West. (If the Mona Lisa hadn’t already been painted, he’d probably be working on that, too.) The Chicago native also considers himself be an Art Basel fan, and not just because the annual art show happens to be a beach side affair. “When I come here, I feel like I’m playing,” he said at the ibsider-loved boutique The Webster Miami, where you can shop for pieces from his current fashion label, Off White. ELLE
