Virgil Abloh passed away on Sunday at the age of 41. According to a statement posted on his personal Instagram, the famed fashion designer, who served as the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear since 2018, was fighting a private battle with cancer for over two years. “Virgil valiantly battled a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma,” the statement read. “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,” it continued. “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. He often said, ‘Everything I do is for the 17-year-old version of myself,’ believing deeply in the power of art to inspire future generations.” In addition to his work in the fashion world, Abloh was also a DJ and designed some iconic album covers including Kanye West‘s My Beautiful Dark, Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus and Watch the Throne, as well as albums from Kid Cudi (they also collaborated on the Kurt Cobain-inspired dress the rapper wore during his recent performance), A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert and Pop Smoke, among others. When the news broke, artists took to social media to mourn the loss and pay tribute to Abloh. “My heart is broken,” wrote Pharrell. “Virgil you were a kind, generous, thoughtful creative genius your work as a human and your work as a spiritual being will live forever Sending love and light to your wife, children, family and day ones you’re with the Master now, shine” “rest in absolute peace. shocking. thank you Virgil,” Kehlani tweeted. “Rest In Power Virgil Abloh” wrote Maxwell.
