Virgil Abloh’s Multidisciplinary Legacy Comes to Life in ParisFrom September 30 to October 10, 2025, the Grand Palais in Paris is set to stage Virgil Abloh: The Codes, the first major European exhibition devoted to the late designer’s work.
Organized by the Virgil Abloh Archive™ in partnership with Nike, the show surveys nearly two decades of Abloh’s career by drawing from his 20,000-object personal archive.
One part of the exhibition reactivates the Paris concept store colette, long a central platform for Abloh’s early work.

The project is supported by the Virgil Abloh Foundation and accompanied by a series of public programs, from workshops and dialogues to performances and screenings.
