- "More than anything, I'm focused on this lineage of work and consistency...that to me is more important than a particular project."
It's November 2017. Off-White is on its way to surpassing Gucci as the hottest label in the world, according to Lyst Index. Virgil will soon be named artistic director of Louis Vuitton menswear.
Following his tragic passing, HYPEBEAST looks back to late 2017 when Virgil Abloh sat down for an introspective interview for issue 20 of HYPEBEAST Magazine.

+1
He’s not dead he’s hiding. He’s connect to the Harvey case
@TH-cam will be the next MySpace soon he was on the list of defendants with Lil wayne and young money on the winestien case
His creative process was so innovative. He was just simply so cool. Truly sad over all this. Rest In Peace Virgil.
@TUbIuyola wtf are u talking about
Rip to Virgil a true legend changed the game forever
What did he do that changed the game? Just curious.
By stealing everything he could lay his eyes on
You kids obviously don’t know anything about streetwear,fashion, designer, and art
Always admired how hard this man works. The dedication to his craft and drive he had even tho he was at the top already. Long Live Virgil
Rest in peace to this legend. As others say he walked so many could run. He disrupted creative medium one after the other and will leave a legacy that will long outlast many of the fads of our generation that tried to imitate him.
The world lost a real one... RIP Virgil, a true visionary.

I hope people can appreciate the artists that still bringing the change to the world. We already lost such a genius. Learn to be grateful, at some point we don’t need to agree, but at least we understand. Less hate more love. RIP Virgil

Virgil was a legend, thank god that his genious mind was recognized and valued while he was alive and will still speak to the world cause his legacy is forever.
RIP
It’s just a shame that people paid more attention to the words of Kanye than Virgil only because of Kanye’s antics. I never knew this man had this much to say because everything was always about how Kanye was Picasso and black people choose to be slaves, etc
Rest in Power🤍

RIP🕯
I wish I could have met him.

These reseller sky rocketing the price not even 24 hours after Virgil passed away. Like it's so bullshit. This is why I don't go for resell cause of people like those who just sees sneakers as a business instead of art.
If you wanna appreciate someone's art in a sneaker just go for replicas instead of these people who don't care about the art
Part of the culture of today is taking what we currently know and transforming it into something new but still familiar. You have to understand where the culture lies today and how you can spark ⚡️ new ideas. We are all part of our own collective consciousness, where that be rap music, freedom, artistic expression, abortion, politics, design and so much more. As an optimist, I can choose to optimistically change the current culture, or I can use rebellion as an opposite approach but still change the current culture.
yeah I know
Rip sir
ETERNAL 💡💡🤲🏾💡💡🧭🕊⚔️❤️🔥⚔️
There’s a Ted talk talking about why things remain fresh. I remember him saying the word MIYA.
RIP VIRGIL Gone 2 Soon 💔
Remember he said he loves replicas
Still can’t believe he passed away I’ve looked up to this man since 2015. He changed the entire game.
“CHECKDIFIT” will take up where Virgil left off and bring a new meaning to street wear a more essential function. The idea is to make clothing more beneficial to human life while bringing modern creativity and swag to one’s fit clothing is more than just for covering ones privates, looking stylish, identifying cultural identity or giving someone high hierarchy status in society. It should have beneficial properties to make human life easier.

😔 💔
RIP
R.I.P "VIRGIL"
Rest in Peace Legend❤️🕊😔
WE WILL MISS YOU
Rest in piss legend
@@chrisdacrisis4670 is she?
@@chrisdacrisis4670 ahh okay
“Virgil was here”
My project was based on one of his idea with the quotations which it’s so influenced by every hypebeast but it’s such a powerful movement
RIP 🪦 “ⓥirgil Ablöh”
you know
I miss Virgil...
Nothing but respect for Virgil, but all he said was "Let's talk about how to copy the same thing over and over again but pretend like it's new".
rip
LLV
Rip
RIP :/ So unexpected
Imagine buying those off-white ones for 9500 2days ago now they dropped to 6500 in 1 day
And they will rocket back up in the near future. What’s your point?
@@jordannorris2406 I never asked your opinion
The perfect designer. Rest in peice virgil
Perfect?? But he’s connected to the Harvey case… that’s a big blemish to ignore
Perfect as a business designer. Right?
rip 🙏🏻🤍🕊️ VIRGIL"
