Of all the countless lines that Virgil Abloh repeated often enough to become an “Abloh-ism,” his idea that “everything I do is for the 17-year-old version of myself,” made clear how much thought and effort he put into fueling the creative ambitions of young people. Enter “Abloh Air” from the @virgilabloh___foundation. Abloh Air was conceived to give 10 students with creative interests from underrepresented backgrounds in his hometown of Chicago the transformational opportunity to spend nine inspiring days in London and Paris. Flight 000, otherwise known as “the cohort,” departed on March 23 and returned on April 1. In that time, the trip functioned like a nonstop masterclass, a reality show (minus the scheming and elimination rounds!), and a teen tour.
