‘That’s How I’ve Always Been’ — Virgil Abloh Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Muscle Tank

“I don’t come up with ideas in a test tube; I come up with ideas by breaking test tubes. That’s how I’ve always been.” The exact sentence goes unsourced, but the metaphor is verifiably Virgil Abloh’s, from around his 2019 “Figures of Speech” retrospective. Breaking as method carried him from a background in engineering and architecture to Off-White and then Louis Vuitton, with none of fashion’s sanctioned credentials. His whole case was that the interesting ideas rarely arrive inside the sealed container; they come from someone willing to smash the glass and see what spills.
