Throughout All-Star Weekend 2020, Jordan Brand programmed their HUB23 brand space to highlight creatives and collaborators across the city. Each Chicago Collaborators Collection member facilitated a community - based workshop.
When Virgil Abloh (menswear designer for Louis Vuitton and creator of OFF-WHITE) and Kim Jones (creative director of Dior Homme) met with our students, they believed they were simply participating in a customized hoodie workshop, drawing inspiration from the techniques popularized by both iconic designers.
Later, students’ designs were hand-selected by Virgil and Kim - with the student designers snagging internships at Jordan Brand/OFF-WHITE and Jordan Brand/Dior.
