Virgil Abloh Is Taking A Three-Month Hiatus From All Travel-Related Work

Even Virgil Abloh has his limits. The highly-productive 38-year-old Off-White and Louis Vuitton designer has let it be known he’s taking a hiatus from any travel-related work or appearances for the next three months.

In a phone conversation with Vogue conducted from his home, Abloh explained, “I’m shifting gears. Essentially I’m working from home [in Chicago] for the next three months, and in large part all my marketing events I’m canceling.”

Abloh said he visited a doctor in August after experiencing sustained fatigue following a trip overseas. He explained, “I was just tired, so I went to the doctor. Ultimately, everything is fine, but the doctor told me ‘this pace that you’ve sort of pushed your body, to fly all these miles, do all these different projects, is not good for your health.'”

Persistently nonchalant, Abloh views the break as a good change. “I’m excited to drop the kids off at school and be able to be here for those moments,” he said, adding, “In high school I always took pride in the award where you didn’t have any sick days. ‘Hey, seventh year in a row I’ve never been home sick!’ Being busy isn’t working, but I’m using this as I do everything else, as a way to propel me forward.”

At the same time, the shows will go on, even if he’s not physically prsent to direct them. Both Off-White and Louis Vuitton will present as planned during Paris Fashion Week thanks in no small part to the strength of both labels’ teams. Abloh said, “My Off-White team is equipped to handle this, and my Louis Vuitton team is expert-level. The shows will go on.”

Noah founder and J Crew men's creative director Br Noah founder and J Crew men's creative director Brendon Babenzien has a certified hit on his hands. Part of his debut collection with the retailer, the men's "giant fit" chino priced at 89.50 is 100% sold out! Relecting the popularity of the silhouette, the women's wide-leg pleated cargo is also sold out. 

With wider fits and chino swinging back into popularity, we can't help but wonder what sneakers and shoes will be coming along for the ride. Any nominations?

What was your favorite storyline?
The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.
