"In a collaboration that perfectly blends fashion, culture, and social impact, the Virgil Abloh Archive has joined forces with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to honor the legacy of one of fashion's most influential designers while giving back to the next generation. The initiative, rooted in Virgil Abloh's lifelong mission to democratize creativity, highlights the power of community and mentorship-values that were central to the late designer's philosophy."
"The partnership between Virgil Abloh Archive and PSG was conceived with one overarching purpose: to create real, tangible opportunities for youth. It began with an initiative aimed at students aged 11 to 15 involved in PSG's youth programs. These young creatives were invited to take part in workshops at Virgil Abloh: The Codes, a retrospective exhibition dedicated to the late visionary."
"At the exhibition, the students were given the opportunity to design and customize PSG jerseys and footballs, bringing their artistic ideas to life under the guidance of creative mentors. This hands-on approach mirrors the way Abloh broke down barriers within the fashion and design industries-by empowering others to step into spaces that once seemed out of reach. This emphasis on inclusion and creative empowerment reflects one of Abloh's most enduring messages: that anyone can create, innovate, and redefine what's possible, regardless of background or circumstance."

A limited-edition T-shirt was released in Abloh’s spirit, with proceeds directed to educational and mentorship programs that support the next generation of creatives.
