Make It Ours

In 2018, Louis Vuitton appointed a designer with no formal training to be the head of menswear – the first Black director in the brand's 164-year history, upending a century's worth of ideas about luxury and taste.

Recounting Virgil Abloh’s remarkable ascent to the top, Make It Ours unearths how the cloistered, exclusive fashion world faced a revolution from below, dressed in graphic t-shirts and sneakers.

With unparalleled access to Abloh's family, collaborators, and contemporaries like Ozwald Boateng and Kanye West, Givhan weaves a spellbinding biography of a singular creative force and a powerful meditation on fashion and race, taste and exclusivity, genius and luxury.
