If you have never heard of Off-White, let us introduce you to it. It’s a luxury brand of streetwear clothes based in Italy and founded by Virgil Abloh. Virgil, whose parents are from Ghana, was raised in Chicago. Although he is a designer for many other brands outside of Off-White, his background is actually in engineering and architecture.

You might have heard of him from his work with Kanye West. He worked as the art director for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s 2012 album Watch the Throne. He’s also the creative director for Kanye West. Before he embarked on Off-White, Virgil had a streetwear label, Pyrex Vision, that he opened in Chicago. He has worked with huge brands like Nike and Snapchat.

The mastermind designer recently sat down with the New York Times for an interview about his love for t-shirts, his crazy schedule, and where he gets his inspiration.  Check out the interview below.
