There's no LUCK in Virgil's success. He's a perfect example of being prepared & always learning. The opportunities came & he was ready. I could listen to him talk for hours... Congrats Virgil! You never took the easy route & weren't trying to make a quick buck... You're living the American Dream, by following the American Path. So much respect.💕

@seboge 5 лет назад

Ahaha how how far gone are you people , never took the easy route? No quick buck? Ermmm Pyrex? Been trill? Stealing every idea he’s ever had? Literally famous because of Kanye? The fashion industry has finally hit rock bottom

@YoungDen 5 лет назад

That was her point he never took the easy route. He worked through those brands to get where he is at now. It's called stepping stones btw

@Pastadeadguy 5 лет назад

Exactly, he didn't have an apprenticeship or family-tie or connections (and Kanye doesnt count, they grew up together before and through fame so I don't consider that a quick-way-out to explain why he became menswear head of LV, and if anything just shows his capabilities in noticing talent). He made the most of what he had and was prepared to seize opportunities. At the end of the day, he didn't take the job, he was offered, by experts and forecasters in the industry (who I should mention are far more qualified and experienced to discuss such matters than us) and financial advisors to back them up. Please stop discounting Virgil, he's a phenomenal workaholic who is more qualified in academia, possibly design than any other designer I am aware of. Being African-American certainly helped his case and im sure LVMH has their intent in that regard. Nevertheless, he achieved this position organically, and now opens doors for people of color, among minorities in general, with no ceiling to speak of.

@mamadouaziza2536 5 лет назад

Vogue has been supporting and employing people of color for years. At one point Andre Leon Talley was #3 at American Vogue and he went to Vanity Fair and back to Vogue. In the late 1970s and early 1980s American Vogue put Black models on its covers. The magazine also highlighted Black designers. Its when a Black designer becomes all ethnic and begins to incorporate traditional African fashion design and culture into their product is when Vogue and many consumers lose interest.

mzChocoSensualHedbob this industry functions around the big fashion cities of london milan paris and new york and many powerful players are fundamentally american such as vogue itself thats why I specifically mentioned America. I'm sure race plays out differently depending on the context but I do feel the US is a big player in the fashion industry
