COMMUNITY

Fashion designer Virgil Abloh has created a free mentoring website, a primer for those who want to develop their own brand, based on his own experience.

In the opening video, he says, “As time passes, there’s more and more glaring examples of how the black community receives disparities in opportunities placed within it. Especially in terms of fashion, in terms of the careers that I exist in. So in effort to sort of diminish that disparity, I’m releasing a new series. That new series is going to be a digital resource that provides mentorship. Mentorship of the same format that I developed to start my own career, thereby making the future look different than the past. “

The site is so comprehensive and straightforward. It’s an invaluable gift and resource to anyone starting a business.

What is the site?

From the creator:

“Below please find a resource center for brands in their earliest phases. This resource was born as I was working to summarize answers to all my most frequently asked questions. The goal of this resource is to uplift more than a few. I will continue to open doors for those that come from the fringe and help them be awarded opportunities usually left for the center.
This continued commitment is supported by the “Post-Modern” Scholarship foundation, with its mission statement being to supply black students an education in fashion via fundraising and mentorship in partnership with the Fashion Scholarship Foundation.”
