Conversations with Contemporary Artists: Virgil Abloh 

Virgil inspired me and I appreciate everything he had to contribute to fashion, black culture, and the world! His legacy will live on forever!

Crazy to think that he was battling cancer during this time... RIP LEGEND

This video will forever exist. It is a clear perspective of Virgil Abloh’s thought process…it’s complex yet simple. To be able to articulate to this magnitude is an example of his creativity and genius. He stood at the intersection of culture, art, streetwear and high fashion. He will be missed.

His “chasing the dreams of your boyhood” philosophy is inspirational. It is exactly how I feel about my art. I never want to let go of my boyish curiosity for life and art.

"Creativity in the childlike sense." We have an enormous body of work left for us all. Thank you Virgil. Rest in peace.

virgil abloh is 1 of those dudes u hate from afar cuz all the corny ppl where his stuff. but u grow to like him when u actually sit down and get to know him

One of the best decisions I made this year was going to this. So much information and inspiration from this experience.

45:31 "I'll be here for a second" .... Hit too hard.

You will always be loved and remembered for sharing your own visions and creativity with the world while inspiring so many others to do the same. Thank you Virgil, rest in peace.🖤

Too many people are quick to judge because they heard someone say something bad about Virgil and not enough people put in the time to learn about his creative process and how articulate and thoughtful his work really is! 👑™️

Man rip Virgil bro💔

how cool is that every time he speaks new ideas are coming to my head, for a painting for a picture for a performance for a tshirt, this guy is the modern Virgil Abloh to our generation, he makes me want to just be me and no one else. You’ll never die V.

wow RIP man, huge inspiration to the youth

This breaks my heart, In times when creativity beauty and freedom are so needed, a soul that leads the way in such endeavors is taken away from us. RIP V :(

What an amazing person, can you imagine sitting here speaking such deep convresation knowing you are about to die. I love you Virgil, you will be missed and your spirit will live thru, you have motivated and inspired so many people in such a short time. One love

I started my clothing brand 3 years ago because of Virgil . Still going strong 💪🏽

Grateful to have this interview posted here to continually revisit. If art is synthesis, Virgil Abloh was the quintessential artist.

Listening to this while working. I’m grateful for his existing.

GOD willing, may you rest in Eternal Peace in paradise Virgil!!! #LV 🕊 🕊 🕊

Going to replay this 2-3 times.

Virgil might be the greatest of all time

Virgil took HipHop & intertwined it in everything he touched

He da man. A renaissance guy for our times!

His view of the Tourist + the Purist translates to every part of this (post)post modernism era of culture. It's those who lean towards the purist are usually those quick to look past his praises and call it hype - and miss out on the positives they could take away.

Gonna miss you Virgil. Everyone will ❤️

RIP, an inspiration and a genius🕊

Ask him bout that Pop Smoke Cover

thank you, Virgil 🕊

getting high at the high as usual, thanks for the talk virgil

Thank you Virgil Abloh!

Amazing talk, bravo

RIP Virgil you will be missed by us all.

He will forever be missed ✨❤️‍🔥✨

Doesn't matter how crazy people thought he was in the beginning, his truth shined even brighter thru time

truly genius. one of few people who personified and manifested the message of "living in the and."when he goes into the idea of never having to decide its truly showing that everything is connected and only bound by the viewers perception. beautifully rare mind thank you for your work sir.

This was a good discussion and very think out of box discussion... He thinks very analytical...

I thoroughly enjoyed this...🔥

*GOT DAMN* _rest in power_

The “ART” iculation of this man....👍🏾

RIP MY HERO. FOREVER AN INSPIRATION

Always a good time

I’m going to Continue his marathon ✊🏽I love fashion I love Louis Vuitton Creation

Btro rest in ☮️ beautiful Bro May god bless your children and wife 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Think I just unlocked 15 percent of my brain now

It's crazy because at this time he knew he had cancer! Such a wonderful man

so much rewatch value

A Legend.

Looks like virgol skates while talking 🗣🛹👁

I was just so goddamn sad, when I read of this man’s passing. I was introduced when I enjoyed the video on YT where Yeezy described his complex feeling around Virgil getting that LV job of his dreams. I spent A$400 on Hype or whatever, on a $20 white IKEA clock with “vanishing” stamped on it, from that Virgil collection. It beautifully encapsulates time is fleeting, every second counts, like the loss of this visionary man. I also collected a wallet (stamped cards/money etc), carefully like the valuable artefact it is. I will keep collecting a few, I think - within my means. He probably knew of his illness and it’s severity when he said how streetwear would die…. and repeating the word die, and being replaced by the next generation.

What is the interconectiveness between you and your friends that you guys feel on a regular day about the existing world and how you can formulate that into your project to the point that the presiding generation doesn't even realise how off-base it can be.

RIP 🥺💕

He is a really great speaker. Very intellectual and has a lot of depth and knowledge on art, fashion and music history. Only thing he lost me on was comparing Playboi Carti to Miles Davis.

Wholesome.

Legend

Mannn. Wish I would’ve made it

R.I.P...🙌🙏💞

Peace & Blessings

Thank you

Virgil Forever RIP

I enjoyed this.

You could hear his voice changing in this interview and I wonder if it was indicative of his sickness. I am really sorry he suffered while trying to work and give out creativity to the world. He was a man of intense intellect and curiosity. RIP Virgil.

my hero and an inspiration to all

Watching V feet move around the whole time

Legend of his craft 🕊

Exceptional RIP VA

VIRGIL IS THE GOAT

RIP!!!! Gone too soon.... 💔

He just a rebel in his own way he mad his on way like he did it his way 😉

"SO FUCKING GOOD"

last answer 💎

“You can put wine in a water bottle...but what does that mean?”

RIP Virgil

His voice sounds a lot like David Blaine

Interesting thing about Virgil is that he always thought that street fashion was absent and he brought it into fashion and culture… actually street fashion came into fashion when the rock and punk movements rock the social life in UK and US and lot of designer like Vivienne Westwood became leaders to connect street with La Mode . Punk fashion was street fashion …it was so cool that designers put it on runway. Same happens with rap and hip hop…simply now they are in the high fashion houses such as LV (traditional conservative bourgeoisie )…After this celebrity issue …he thought that Disco was cool for its time and that s it when time is out …Goodbye disco no longer artistic…. but someone should give lifetime artistic credits to Jay Z because he is Artist and what he si doing will stay forever? Everything passes ...everything !!! In my opinion he is hard and heavy for conversations but cool and creative as designer!

Rip 🐐

This dude deep like the ocean if you you make clothes you have to set down and listen to off white you have to👑👑👑👑👑👑

Great video

OY3AH!

We have to keep an eye out for my man at 1:12:11 . . . That is some high-level manifesting right there!

Love this but needed a dictionary on hand. Its okay tho

Dillitaunt here for the insight

Wow

Why the camera is so far away? It doesn’t make sense

🐐

Camera angle sucks on this. What!

"First"

off white became what virgil sought out to destroy, ironic

Dope

we need to get virgil on joe rogan

his feet are dancing while he talks

RIH Virgil.

He made fun of me. I’m a security guard at Brooklyn Museum.

Take a shot when he says “like”

I've been a critic of Virgil, but this interview really pulled the curtain back. I think he is hard to listen to because I used to think he was just spewing rhetoric for the sake of tickling one's ear. But for some reason, I heard past the words in this interview to see that there was something special there and I just wasn't listening.

🏄🏽‍♀️

RIP
