Louis Vuitton and Off-White designer Virgil Abloh has died at age 41 after a two-yr battle with cancer, confirms his household. “We are devastated to announce the passing of our beloved Virgil Abloh, a fiercely devoted father, husband, son, brother, and friend,” Abloh’s household stated Sunday in a press release posted to Abloh’s Instagram web page. Abloh’s household revealed the designer was recognized with “a rare, aggressive form of cancer” known as cardiac angiosarcoma. “For over two years, Virgil valiantly battled a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma. He chose to endure his battle privately since his diagnosis in 2019, undergoing numerous challenging treatments, all while helming several significant institutions that span fashion, art, and culture.”
“Through it all, his work ethic, infinite curiosity, and optimism never wavered,” the household stated. “Virgil was driven by his dedication to his craft and to his mission to open doors for others and create pathways for greater equality in art and design.”
The household added that the ace designer believed in artwork’s capacity “to inspire future generations” and typically stated, “Everything I do is for the 17-year-old version of myself.”
Virgil Abloh is survived by his loving spouse Shannon Abloh, his kids Lowe Abloh and Grey Abloh, his sister Edwina Abloh, his dad and mom Nee and Eunice Abloh, and quite a few pricey pals and colleagues.
South Korean group BTS, who had been named home ambassadors for Louis Vuitton not too long ago, paid tribute to the late barrier-breaking Black designer.
