Virgil Abloh has just partnered with Mercedes-Benz in a project that celebrates the company’s iconic G-Class model, which turned 40 last year. Virgil, there’s no stopping you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Virgil<\/p>\n

As if his career as a designer, DJ, artist and curator didn’t keep him busy all day, Virgil is now immersed in a new professional challenge<\/strong>. Entitled “Project Gel\u00e4ndewagen<\/strong>“, Abloh has partnered with Mercedes-Benz<\/strong> design director Gorden Wagener<\/strong> (@gorden.wagener<\/a><\/strong>) on an exclusive artwork that will be digitally launched on September 8th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMercedes-Benz is a brand that stands for luxury and exceptional performance\u201d<\/strong>, says Abloh. \u201cTruly a perfect chassis to interject modern artists\u2019 ideas of what the future can be stylistically, within conceptual car design\u201d.<\/strong> So, both artists will be auctioning off their work to support independent artists currently struggling to establish themselves in the midst of the pandemic<\/strong>. Remember!<\/strong> September will come full of news. We’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
