Virgil was here

Virgil Abloh died on Sunday, two days before a show that included a light display of a paper plane darting into the beyond and the phrase “Virgil was here.”

Hans Ulrich Obrist on Instagram: “In memory of Virgil Abloh (1980-2021) THE WORLD PRODUCES WAVES. SURF OR DROWN. YOU DECIDE. #virgilabloh #handwritten”

“Virgil Abloh’s final collection with Louis Vuitton will be presented tomorrow. The collection is titled “Virgil Was Here” and celebrates his impact on fashion and his legacy as a whole🖤”
