The craziest part is that he knew his time was limited and he did not waste a second of his life. Im trying to change my life and Virgil is a huge inspiration.
@@russia4biden221 I dont think i spoke about any problems in that comment. When I posted it I honestly didnt think anyone would even pay any mind to it. Dont come and spread random negativity just because your life sucks and you have nothing better to do.
Any self respecting student of design should watch this video and study Virgil's process and progress. His legacy is still yet to be realized. RIP Virgil

The ending of this video will be in his life documentary. I saw another clip today where he is talking about a tin can, and he explained how if you put the tin can in all white room at an Art Gallery, it's art. If you see that same tin can in a garage, you'd think its junk and you'd throw it away. He was making an analogy as to what he does, which is design the room around the tin can and make it accessible. Imo this perfectly encapsulates the idea of him writing on the shoes. It's an idea thats so basic, and so rudimentary, but he designed and presented it in a way where it's cool. Thus everyone is throwing their shoes at Virgil for him to sign it. RIP Virgil.
remember what he says about mentors, and that he gave us the cheat code! but yeah the end brought me to tears as well. screen recorded and added to my mood board for sure.
This is such an inspiring conversation. I feel so sad to know him after hearing about his leave. The ending is amazing. It is a complicated feeling that you laugh at his speech ending and you realize he has already left. The good thing is even if someone leaves, he still leaves something meaningful for people. Rest in Peace.
Right, I'd never seen this lecture until now and he was really out of touch with the coat aspect. Even a mediocre rug that big would be at least a couple hundred. Lol. RIP
exactly why he knew they’d be mad if he speculated on their pricing haha. curious if it was a rev share, guessing it probably was not. if it was it would tell us a lot about how he valued fiat $
do you think it was surreal for him? i feel like he knew exactly what would happen and invited it with so much playfulness. he was almost juggling the shoes, kicking them like hackey sacks or soccer balls before practice haha. and there had been a few references prior about throwing shoes, and fucking up shoes because why not. it was such a moving ending because he gave so much during the talk, literally he gave us the cheat code at the end of the video (it’s in the bullet points). and then offered more to the irl audience when he knew he had less time than all the requests for questions and autographs would take. this is one of, if not *the* most generous creatives that we will come across in our lifetime. and he kept it light and fun, because life isn’t that serious and same goes for design. i like that your comment made me think and lightened the mood. bc ngl i totally got emotional at the end 🤣
Virgil you left a legacy. I now own the off white Nike Air Force 1 mid shoes and they keep turning heads everywhere I go that I need to get the white colorway. The conversations I’ve had about your designs leave even myself speechless trying to explain to people what shoe I’m wearing. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. Love from New Zealand.
I’m so lucky to love Virgil’s work to of worn a few bits and it still to this day triggered my fashion back from the 90s with my teenage daughter who I buy what I can for from off white
The way oui think the way u think the way “i” think. Multifaceted and creative enabling others thinkers thoughts to be perceived “Amazing” and fascinating. Fascinated by cultivated thoughts creating much more than you can ever think or imagine.!
how ironic that lawyers are *sometimes* the dearth of creativity, sharing, and ideation, while they almost single handedly protect IP (one of the only things creatives can truly own and monetize). i like how much virgil touches on this theme - multiple truths, sometimes in total conflict, all correct at once. shows a deep understanding of the world’s workings, which is helpful for innovation/rule breaking and problem solving.
also - if i had to guess, probably more lawyers work for the companies to whom he’s beholden by contracts, i hope he didn’t have too many on his payroll bc overhead

I'm trying to find the video of the "tin can" analogy. Have u come back across the video?
@@vicekingryu did you find it if not i can dm it too you on insta
@@vicekingryu risd talk
genius. I think we've all kind of noticed this as some point but didn't think it as deep and simple at the same time that it is.
That’s a great observation. He really did make his signature a fashion statement in a way
“Once you learn the ethos of what you love and dig deeper, then you’re able to turn the wheel left or right “
This lecture changed the way I moved forever. Rip to a legend.

Watching this makes me so emotional. People like him are meant to live forever.
rest in peace to the legend. inspired an entire generation of artists, designers, musicians, and everything in between
Design is not art
The end of this literally feels like the end of a film. Long live the King
Someone get this mans a glass of water
