With the untimely passing of Virgil Abloh still being mourned throughout the fashion world, most recently at his final posthumous outing at Louis Vuitton’s FW22 runway show, the visionary designer’s attitude to fashion and the world he ultimately left behind is still being carried on through initiatives such as the Post-Modern Scholarship Fund and The Black Curriculum.
</br>
Before he left us, Abloh had planned to create a collection that would benefit the Black Curriculum - whose aim is to promote teaching and conversation about black history and future throughout the U.K, namely amongst the younger generation so they can carve out their own niche and make a difference to the world ahead of them.
The collection, backed by Edward Enninful – British Vogue’s editor-in-chief and European editorial director - has now been given the green light from Abloh’s estate, with all net profits going towards The Black Curriculum.
</br>
The release is comprised of one t-shirt and two hoodies, each bearing the slogan “I support black education” with Abloh’s take on the “Vogue” logo printed across the back.
Lavinya Stennett, founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum said ”The funds will enable us to roll out the creation of our pledge in tandem with national bodies, to further the commitment of teaching Black history and develop location-specific resources in Black History.”

The Vogue x Off-White collection is available now, priced between £100 & £150 via Vogue UK's online store.
