We remember the highlights of Virgil Abloh’s fashion career
In memory of Virgil Abloh, founder and mastermind of Off-White and creative director of Louis Vuitton’s ready-to-wear men’s line. His body did not resist the battle against cancer but the legacy of the designer originally from Rockford, Illinois is fundamental to the history of contemporary fashion.
