The two then began an artistic collaboration that would launch Abloh&#8217;s career into founding Off-White. The first African-American to be artistic director at a French luxury fashion house, Abloh was named by&nbsp;<em>Time<\/em>&nbsp;magazine as one of the&nbsp;100 most influential people in the world&nbsp;in 2018.
