“FIT CHECK”

Publication, Code
Spring 2024

Advised by Richard Rose for Colour + Surface @ RISD.

What makes a fit 👔 check ✅, or a check 🏁 fit ↔️? This experimental lookbook for Virgil Abloh plays upon the slang phrase of “fit check”, both in relation to the daily checking of one’s outfit, and whether the checkerboard pattern – an iconic part of Abloh’s designs – fits. All images treated using custom code written in p5.js. Hidden spiral bound, unfolding accordion pages with sewn pull tabs.
