Despite no formal training in pattern-making or tailoring, Abloh had become the first Black designer to serve as artistic director in the brand’s 164-year history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMake It Ours \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of how that moment came to be and how Abloh came to symbolise and embody the industry’s way forward. Using Abloh’s surprising path to the top of the luxury establishment, Givhan unfolds the larger story of how the cloistered, exclusive fashion world faced a revolution from below in the form of streetwear and designers unafraid to storm the gate, and how a simple t-shirt came to hold as much cultural power as a haute couture gown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith unparalleled access to Abloh’s family, friends, collaborators, and contemporaries, and featuring a cast of fascinating characters ranging from groundbreaking Black designers like Ozwald Boateng to Abloh’s mercurial but critical employer and mentor Kanye West, Givhan weaves a spellbinding tale of a young man’s rise amidst a cultural moment that would upend a century’s worth of ideas about luxury and taste. This is at once a remarkable biography of a singular creative force and a powerful meditation on fashion and race, taste and exclusivity, genius and luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54263380935000,"sku":"9781529153439","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781529153439_1f718fbf-77bc-45d2-9ebf-fd9da1b93cdc.jpg?v=1770336922","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/make-it-ours","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
