RIP Virgil Abloh So Heartbreaking

Virgil has passed away at 41 years old, due to an aggressive cancer that took him away waaay too soon. This artist contributed a lot to the fashion community and even some to the watch community.

Here are some of his contributions.

Read about this and did not really know anything other than he became very influential at LV. Sad as hell that he leaves so much behind.

yeah he founded the brand off-white and recently became the artistic director for menswear at LV. i wasn't the biggest fan of off-white clothing but liked a lot of his collabs with jordan and i have a few of them. definitely was influential and too young to go. RIP

I've never heard of him, but that's way too young. RIP.

He was a shooting star and did a lot for fashion in recent years. So much potential but gone too soon. RIP
