"Virgil Abloh says the darndest, most illuminating things—enough in
his young fashion career to fill a 160-page book titled Abloh-isms.
. . . The book maps out Abloh’s unique thinking in chapters devoted
to his early years, his inspirations and influences, his creative
methods, his impact and his singular point of view on streetwear,
fashion and art . . . breathtakingly incisive."---Miles Socha,
Women’s Wear Daily online
