Virgil Abloh Quotes

Thom Browne is like a wizard when it comes to clothes. Even though his suits are so shrunken, they feel like pajamas.

Fashion is not enough anymore. It's not just about what you wear. I mean, I don't know how many women can afford to take the time to come to Paris for three fittings.

I tend to gravitate toward Proenza Schouler and Alexander Wang. Their designs are accessible and easy.

If you put the collections together, whether it's Rick Owens, Alexander Wang, or whomever, sometimes they do streetwear, but they're never called that. They're always called 'sportswear' or 'high-end' or 'luxury.' I feel like I'm tossed into that streetwear category so that I don't exist in this space.

I don't understand what modern clothes are about at all.

Alexander Wang is a young designer, and his style is so profound. He took sports and street and kind of combined it into upscale high fashion. He made a white T-shirt a luxury.

I buy Dries van Noten shoes. I love his clothes, too.

I like the brand Band of Outsiders. Their suits are cut really slim, for smaller framed gentlemen.

I love all Helmut Lang. I love Alexander Wang and Alice+Olivia.

My favourite designers are Alexander McQueen, YSL, Eskandar, Donna Karan and Lanvin.

We all know and we all perceive Christian Dior in a very specific way.

Fashion is all about references. All these names being thrown around.

I think my style is definitely urban chic. I love mixing street style with the high-end luxury brands, like Gucci, for example. Quite fun.

I've worn over 6,700 gowns. They're all borrowed gowns, designer samples.

Hugo Boss is my kind of label.

I've always worn Superdry. It's a British brand, of course, and it's my go-to festival brand.

During the 1990s, luxury became something exclusive and elitist. I think fashion got lost. It forgot about craft and culture.

I love couture, but the other side of me loves the street, and I think the mix of these two can create something new.
