Virgil Abloh

I have this overriding principle that streetwear could end up like disco: that it will be perceived well at the time but doesn't age well at all.

I always joke that, at any given time, I'm supposed to be at two other places.

I'd do anything at the right time, and I would also do things at the wrong time if they felt right.

From a very young age, as a teenager, I was into hip-hop and skateboarding and all those things that were akin to a kid in the '90s. All those things are what resulted in clothes.

I like to look at fashion and relate it to the time when it was happening.

I think that, in a digital age, album covers are becoming a lost art.

When creativity melds together with global issues, I believe you can bring the world together.

I pride myself in collaborating and being a creative director, and creative direction isn't putting my opinion first. It's supporting an artist so they get the most out of the project.

I'm always trying to prove to my 17-year-old self that I can do creative things I thought weren't possible.

It is an honor for me to accept the position of men's artistic director for Louis Vuitton. I find the heritage and creative integrity of the house are key inspirations and will look to reference them both while drawing parallels to modern times.

If you look at why people become wack as they get older, it's because they stop doing the things they did that were formative to their work. You can't mentally stay still. You can't not challenge yourself.

For me, I analyze the modern girl, the girl that I'm friends with, and they're empowered: They pay their own bills. They have their own style. They wear clothes - the clothes don't wear them.
