K-75 Paint Marker for Virgil Abloh: The Codes at the Grand Palais in Paris. The exhibition traces nearly twenty years of creation through archival pieces: prototypes, sketches, objects, images and creations from his personal collections.

The Codes offers an unprecedented look at nearly two decades of Abloh’s multidisciplinary output. Curated by Chloe Sultan and Mahfuz Sultan, The Codes features hundreds of objects, prototypes, sketches, and images from Abloh’s career, as well as his personal collections, tracing the signature design principles – or “codes” – that unified his work across fashion, footwear, architecture, music, advertising, and more. All ticket proceeds went to the Virgil Abloh Foundation.

During the exhibition, colette, the iconic Parisian concept store co-founded by Sarah Andelman, set up shop in the rotonde Clemenceau to offer new products designed by Virgil Abloh's closest collaborators including Krink.
