Fabien Montique

Fabien Montique on home, Virgil Abloh, how an image can change your life, and more on this week’s conversation. 

Fabien Montique is a visionary fashion photographer and director who has left an indelible mark on the industry. Growing up in Barbados, he was inspired by a Calvin Klein ad that ignited his passion for photography and fashion. After moving to New York City, Fabien began capturing the style and essence of his friends, eventually gaining the attention of Kanye West through a blog showcasing his visual talent. He went on to contribute his creative genius to the Donda team and was later entrusted by Virgil Abloh to shape the visual identity of Off-White. Fabien's lens has captured iconic figures like Jay-Z, Pusha T, Tracey Ellis Ross, and Kid Cudi, as well as fashion brands such as Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, and Kenzo. His work has also graced the covers of renowned publications like Vogue, GQ, and Perfect Magazine. Today, Fabien Montique continues to push the boundaries of fashion photography with his unique vision and storytelling mastery.
