Virgil Abloh, Heron Preston & Selam Ghirmay Fessahaye Discuss Culture Of Creativity And Just Doing It

June 18, 2017. Leave a Comment

As part of Stockholm Fashion Week, creatives Virgil Abloh, Heron Preston and costume designer Selam Ghirmay Fessahaye took part in an hour-long discussion, moderated by Robert Zillén at SPACE by rmh, a platform for independent designers. The event took place in January 2017, but is just now being published on YouTube.

In the discussion, Abloh and Preston discuss the mashing up of creative fields, and also forward a “just do it” credo as it relates to taking the plunge when one is struck with an idea. Fessahaye pushed back on the point, arguing there is something to be said for working on one’s craft over a long period of time.

In an interesting aside, Preston spoke of his time working at Nike and spending $80,000 developing a campaign for the brand’s Riccardo Tisci collaboration, only to have it rejected it because higher ups wanted to stick with more traditional marketing efforts.

Designed for women, Lility NYC takes its name from a mythological character who has been described as the wife of Adam in early texts.

Lilith NYC’s debut silhouette is called Caudal Lure, a form of mimicry used by snakes to lure prey using their tails akin to how sneaker lovers flex their kicks. The name is referenced through the shoe’s super-sized Vibram outsole, designed to resembles a snake’s tail.

Lilith’s debut Caudal Lure sneaker is now available for pre-order on lilith.nyc.
