Virgil’s sister, Edwina Abloh, also shared a heartfelt speech about the designer’s influence and how much he will be missed.

“Virgil inspired multitudes to never relent and to be the best version of themselves. My brother was endearing and humble, yet daring and courageous. His charisma and aura resonated love and kindness to all… . As Virgil once said in his last show, ‘there is no limit, life is short and you can’t waste even a day subscribing to what people think you should do’… . Virgil left a permanent mark on the world and which we will never forget,” Edwina shared with tears in her eyes.

Virgil Abloh passed away on November 28 after a private battle with cancer. His death sent shockwaves throughout Hollywood and beyond.

As well as founder and CEO of Off-White, Abloh was artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s men’s line.
