From recently collaborating with Nike on exclusive World Cup kits and Rimowa on transparent luggage, Virgil Abloh now graces the cover for GRIND magazine's latest issue.
The front image depicts Abloh draped in his signature OFF-WHITE line, specifically floral trousers, in addition to his contributions with Louis Vuitton, after being named as the new artistic director of menswear this past March, with various monogrammed LV trunks and accessories, in addition to a red PVC coat and black sneakers.
Other images from the magazine are featured, and showcases Abloh paying homage to an ad of renowned DJ Grandmaster Flash, by mimicking the same pose of squatting on a 1996 Helmut Lang for Louis Vuitton record box. In addition, the shoot is also a nod to editor Takuya Chiba, who contributed fifteen years to GRIND and its sister publication, PERK.
This new issue of GRIND, dubbed "Space and Style" is out now in select newsstands worldwide.
Up next, Virgil Abloh’s first Louis Vuitton sneaker is reminiscent of an Air Jordan 3.
