VIRGIL Abloh’s mission with the “post-modern” Fund Is to foster equity and inclusion within the fashion industry by providing scholarships to students of academic promise of Black, African-American, or of African descent. In addition to funding, the Post-Modern Scholarship provides additional support to make its mission happen in the form of mentorship, information and support services.
THE MISSION FOR “OFF DONDA” IS TO RE-IMAGINE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN “OFF-WHITE” AND “DONDA” BY CREATing QUALITY AFFORDABLE PRODUCTS inspired by both principles. VIRGIL’S IDEA OF REMIXING WAS QUINTESSENTIAL TO HIS WORK, and “off/donda” AIMS TO REPLICATE THAT IDEA WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF MAKING THIS BLUEPRINT MORE ACCESSIBLE BY SUPPORTING THE “POST-MODERN” FUND AND OTHER BLACK EDUCATION PROGRAMS - CONTINUING THE LEGACY THAT DONDA WEST & VIRGIL LEFT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
