Virgil Abloh was an American fashion designer and the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear collection since 2018. He began his own line of streetwear clothing, Pyrex Vision in 2012. He was also the CEO of the Milan-based label Off-White, which he founded in 2013.
In 2019, Abloh was diagnosed with cardiac angiosarcoma. However, he kept the diagnosis private and breathed his last on November 28, 2021, at the age of 41.
LVMH paid tribute to Abloh by organizing a fashion show in Miami with the theme and dedication “Virgil was here.” The tribute was attended by Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, and Bella Hadid, among others.
Abloh was also an occasional DJ, and directed music videos and designed album covers for artists including Westside Gunn, Lil Uzi Vert, and Pop Smoke among others. He received his first major award in 2011 for designing cover art for Jay-Z and Kanye West's collaborative album Watch the Throne. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.
Abloh’s most prominent work included his Charlie Hebdo-inspired "War is Not Over!" tees from 2015. He bagged the Urban Luxe award at the 2017 British Fashion Awards and was nominated for International designer of the Year at the GQ Men of the Year awards in 2017.
