This video will forever exist. It is a clear perspective of Virgil Abloh’s thought process…it’s complex yet simple. To be able to articulate to this magnitude is an example of his creativity and genius. He stood at the intersection of culture, art, streetwear and high fashion. He will be missed.

His “chasing the dreams of your boyhood” philosophy is inspirational. It is exactly how I feel about my art. I never want to let go of my boyish curiosity for life and art.

His view of the Tourist + the Purist translates to every part of this (post)post modernism era of culture. It's those who lean towards the purist are usually those quick to look past his praises and call it hype - and miss out on the positives they could take away.

@TUbIuyola his message, dedication to putting on the youth, and the massive portfolio of work…yes I am very serious. Virgil alone shaped the entire fashion industry to what it is today. He broke down so many walls that go way beyond the physical clothes he made. I don’t even know why I’m replying to this though. If you know, you know. Not interested in debating, that’s just how I feel

@jrock5830 2 жыл бұрын

I was just so goddamn sad, when I read of this man’s passing. I was introduced when I enjoyed the video on YT where Yeezy described his complex feeling around Virgil getting that LV job of his dreams. I spent A$400 on Hype or whatever, on a $20 white IKEA clock with “vanishing” stamped on it, from that Virgil collection. It beautifully encapsulates time is fleeting, every second counts, like the loss of this visionary man. I also collected a wallet (stamped cards/money etc), carefully like the valuable artefact it is. I will keep collecting a few, I think - within my means. He probably knew of his illness and it’s severity when he said how streetwear would die…. and repeating the word die, and being replaced by the next generation.

That’s exactly what he means. That’s how The world works he’s using that perception and countering it with his 3% rule, meaning you see a water bottle and you expect it to have water but what if he puts wine into it? you see that as something new, he’s saying that’s his design process countering the norms by using things we already have in the world and breaking the mold or what you might consider normal. That’s why he says bringing architecture to the art world. Shaping the design process and ideology. Same thing with bringing that diversity to the art world.

@julslatt6294 2 жыл бұрын

Was it meant biblically? “Wine was also used as a symbol of blessing and judgement throughout the Bible.” “ A wineskin is an ancient type of [bottle] made of leathered animal skin, usually from goats or sheep, used to store or transport wine.” Further “ Mark 2:22 NKJV “”And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”” “Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins…” (Matthew 9:17 NIV).” “To live is to suffer, to survive is finding meaning in the suffering” Rest Well Virgil Abloh🕊👑 ☮️

Interesting thing about Virgil is that he always thought that street fashion was absent and he brought it into fashion and culture… actually street fashion came into fashion when the rock and punk movements rock the social life in UK and US and lot of designer like Vivienne Westwood became leaders to connect street with La Mode . Punk fashion was street fashion …it was so cool that designers put it on runway. Same happens with rap and hip hop…simply now they are in the high fashion houses such as LV (traditional conservative bourgeoisie )…After this celebrity issue …he thought that Disco was cool for its time and that s it when time is out …Goodbye disco no longer artistic…. but someone should give lifetime artistic credits to Jay Z because he is Artist and what he si doing will stay forever? Everything passes ...everything !!! In my opinion he is hard and heavy for conversations but cool and creative as designer!
