About
The MCA × Virgil Abloh Design Challenge has concluded and our judges were impressed by all the creativity it inspired! We saw entries from young people across Chicagoland with ideas ranging from transforming discarded clothing into something new and exciting to re-imagining cardboard boxes as furniture.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Design Challenge!
