Virgil Abloh also promoted his fellow black race and tried to set a future for his brothers and sisters of color. He opened many doors and earned the respect of not only fashion associates but also the world with his devotion to inclusion. Unfortunately, he did not have enough time to continue the crusade as his life ended in sickness. He will always be remembered as a great fashion leader and a harbinger of change for his people. The loss for LV was major as he had just begun a new era of design for the conservative designer firm. The artistic director of Louis Vuitton men’s wear as well as the founder of his own brand, Off-White, passed away from a rare cancer at a young 41 years of age.
