RIP Drakeo, the greatest West Coast artist of a generation, a legend who invented a new rap language of slippery cadences, nervous rhythms, and psychedelic slang, who beat life twice only to suffer the most tragic fate conceivable. The Ruler, once, always, and forever. ๐
Virgil Alboh's punctuation made sneakers postmodern, he took them apart to remind us what they could contain. Using a Sharpie to cross out the old rules, he redefined what was possible. Among his greatest gifts is the blueprint he left for the next generation to do it again.
LVMH, Louis Vuitton and Off White are devastated to announce the passing of Virgil Abloh, on Sunday, November 28th, of cancer, which he had been battling privately for several years.
