The 10 most iconic creations of Virgil Abloh according to the editorial staff of nss magazine Walter d'Aprile and the editorial staff of the magazine tell the designer through his works

Virgil Abloh's career, although it lasted about fifteen years, was extraordinarily rich in projects, creations and collaborations. Whether it's works of art, cult sneakers or items full of cultural references that have appeared in its many fashion collections, Abloh's legacy is huge and that's why the CEO and the editorial staff of nss magazine have decided to celebrate it with a collective article telling it through ten of his most iconic creations.

A review that wants to be the anthology of a long career, but also an episodic and multi-perspective narrative on the work of a designer who has profoundly changed not only the fashion industry, but also the very notion of luxury. Although these objects represent a tangible testimony of Abloh's creative work, the greatest legacy of the American designer has been immaterial: a mindframe, a method, a way of looking at things and understanding the work of the contemporary creative. Indeed, one could almost say that Abloh has provided, offering himself and his career as models, the blueprint of new creativity to a new generation of designers.

Here are the 10 most iconic creations of Virgil Abloh according to the editorial staff of nss magazine. 

Been Trill T-shirts

Inspired by the yellow ribbon of the construction areas, Off-White's "Industrial Belt" is an item that has represented the successful work-in-progress of the brand over the years, from being a breaking item to becoming an entry-level purchase for fans of the figure of Virgil. The first version appears in the A/W 16 during Paris Fashion Week, and the winter after it already enthuses the lives of fashion afecionados as a symbol of belonging to the streetstyle revolution that is born from the street in the world of luxury fashion. The quotation mark "CAUTION" extends along the entire length of the yellow or black nylon ribbon, later also proposed in pink, red and off-white colorways, which becomes a hyper-versatile and highly desired accessory. In 2019 with the new design also comes the 2.0 version, with a metal strap with a strong eco workwear.
