My Failed Company
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to own my own business. Something about being your own boss appealed to me and for the better part of a decade I tried to make that dream a reality. Unfortunately, I failed to make that dream come true—and I want to talk about it.

Off-White: A Brief History
Off-White: A Brief History Pyrex Vision was a company at the genesis of the luxury streetwear industry. After graduating from university, the fashion brand’s creative designer, Virgil Abloh, began interning in 2009 at Fendi in the same class as the rap musician, Kanye West. Placed in the company's office in Rome, Italy, the two artists began a collaborative relationship. A year later, West appointed Abloh the creative director of his creative agency, DONDA. In 2011, West asked him to serve as the creative director for the 2011 Jay-Z/Kanye West album Watch the Throne. In 2012, Abloh launched his first company, Pyrex Vision, a small boutique of couture streetwear. Abloh purchased deadstock clothing from Ralph Lauren for $40, screen-printed designs on them and sold them for prices upward of $550. For Virgil Abloh, the company was the conceptualization of a larger societal allegory to the dialogue of Chicago streets; pyrex being associated with drug use, and ‘23’ being the basketball number of the legendary Chicago Bulls all-star, Michael Jordan. He closed the company down a year later as he did not intend it to become a commercial enterprise but an artistic experiment, however incendiary, Pyrex Vision was merely a stepping stone.

My Senior Quote + What I Learned in High School
It was one of the moments I had been waiting for the past four years of my high school career. It was finally time to pick out my senior quote from the yearbook. This was my time to shine and try and show everyone how witty and bright I was with only a line or two. It had to be something clever and something that represent my high school experience. "No pressure," I thought to myself as I looked down at the senior survey that Mr. Bonneville had handed out to everyone. In February, I had decided that for my quote, I was going to use “life’s short, talk fast,” from the early 2000s TV show Gilmore Girls.
