Virgil Abloh launches a $1 million scholarship fund for Black American creatives.
is a member), as well as Farfetch. The Abloh Fund will be operated in partnership with the Fashion Scholarship Fund which has operated in the US since 1937 to create opportunities for young American fashion creatives of all backgrounds in fashion.
On a call from his home in Chicago, Abloh said: “By the metrics we’re projecting we’ll put 100 kids, Black kids, through a wide spectrum of educational institutions. I started as a 17 year old kid whose parents wanted him to be an engineer, but I wanted to be a fashion designer… I’m 39 years old and it’s taken me that time to work to get here and prove my pedigree and to be in a position to activate change.
Abloh has for sure blazed a trail. Now he intends this fund to allow many more to follow, via that vital starting point of education. Eventually it should benefit many individuals, as well as provide a rich seam of trained Black creatives for the fashion and design industry . As Abloh observed: “a benefit of this uprising is that we are paying attention to systemic problems... we can’t move on…. It’s time for us not to make this industry about fashion, but about people… And I’ve been pouring that into my own work. I’m looking at this as a call to action for me to take on more challenges that don’t only end up on the runway, but that end up changing people’s lives.”
