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.
