This week on Blamo!, we’re joined by a true designer’s designer: Nur Abbas.

Nur is based in Portland, Oregon, and his résumé reads like a tour through every corner of modern fashion. He’s designed for Margiela, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton; worked alongside Christophe Lemaire on UniqloU; served as Design Director for Nike ACG; and even did a stint at Yeezy.

What struck me most in our conversation is how seamlessly he’s moved between worlds—ultra-luxury houses and global, accessible brands—and how much they actually have in common. Nur has a rare perspective on what ties them together and what separates them.

We dive into his design studio, Onlylight; his new project, Parsel; gorp culture and the legacy of Nike ACG; why it’s always the person—not the clothes—that makes a fit; and how the best design is almost always a team sport.
