Abloh, 39, the creative director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear collection, outraged the black community yesterday after posting in a story on his Instagram that he contributed a measly $50 “for kids in the streets” that needed bail funds during the dayslong upheaval across the country.
The Off-White creator was memorably dressed down on social media over what looked like a pitiful contribution to the cause, compared to the pricey garments he sells.
However, Abloh claimed on Instagram Monday that it was all a misunderstanding, and as a black man whose parents immigrated from Ghana, he’s devoted to the Black Lives Matter movement.
