Celebrity Designer Hooks Up With Ikea

Virgil Abloh is not your average designer and he’s making sure the world is aware. Coming from a solid background in creative designing, with major clients such as Kanye West, Virgil is also the creator and owner of the international fashion label Off-White, headquartered in Milan, Italy. He also has a background in architecture (thanks to his engineering degree). Not a bad compilation of accomplishments, huh?

Well, Ikea didn’t think twice about snatching up the Chicago native for their latest project which includes a redesign of their beloved shopping bags and a fresh approach to their living space ideas.

The powerful project plans on toying with new ideas for those who are experiencing the dorm life as college students. Virgil plans to bring the worlds of fashion design and comfortable living together in the most stylish way possible.
