Quote of the day: Virgil Abloh



virgil abloh louis vuitton artistic director
“Product is only one part of the luxury narrative. I want to use Louis Vuitton’s history with travel to really look at different cultures around the world to help make all our humanity visible.

Tom Sachs quotes

“Always go to work before you check your e-mail or read the New York Times. You spend eight hours with your subconscious dreaming. Don’t waste that by taking the world in, go out.
