"Virgil Was Here" Virgil Abloh's final show for Louis Vuitton


Kanye West, now Ye, and Pharrell Williams were among many celebrities in attendance), and before the models emerged, Louis Vuitton's Chairman and CEO Michael Burke spoke. "Virgil," he said, choking up, "was not looking for the limelight, but the limelight found him."


Abloh was made the first Black artistic director of Louis Vuitton menswear in 2018 by Burke, and LVMH's CEO Bernard Arnault. His time at the house was widely successful and, in June this year, LVMH doubled down on its support for Abloh when it became a majority investor in Off-White, the designer's own label that he founded in 2012.
