Virgil Abloh - 'STARTING YOUR OWN BRAND'

REST IN POWER VIRGIL

Virgil's impact on changing how T-shirts could be a luxury item and even his vision and creativity were really why he was so influential in the Fashion Industry.

This was taken from 2 interviews and the tips he gave on how "LESS IS MORE" impacted me. I tend to have a bunch of ideas and creative processes all the time and him saying that gave me something to reflect on and get better at my creative side.

“life is so short you can’t waste a day” hit different

My favorite part is the analogy about the candle and the room it sits in. The perspective Virgil brings is so High level

[anthonywallace]

Rest in peace to the legend he showed us you can turn a streetwear brand into a full Italian luxury brand and that the underdog can be creative director for Louis Vuitton this man is the definition of goals

[nazcanazca]

That guy should start a new brand called "mhhm" I think it'd be dope.

"Life is so short, you cant waste a day" hits different !!!

Virgil was such a pioneer in the fashion industry when it wasn’t a lot of new ideas circulating.

I understand what he means by the switch in your head. I've been stumbling around in the dark looking for that switch for years. Finally found it. As a designer myself, everything finally just clicked. I was working on a concept one day and had a solid idea/representation for it. Then I realized there was another deeper concept within it and it was a whole other brand of its own. And then again, and again. And out of working on just one concept I've developed 5 solid brands. Feel's amazing.

Virgil was and still is such an inspiration! I’m so sad that I just discovered him and his work after he passed😔 I want to be a future designer and would have loved to meet him. Long Live Virgil ❤️❤️❤️

“Life is so short that you can’t waste even a day subscribing to what someone thinks you can do, versus knowing what you can do.”

I missed him. I used to listen to his interview and conference while he spoke about art and design. He was not like any rapper/ hiphop/ stylist who had some fame then try to put a label on things and sell. He actually had an art vision and it was a genius one. He communicates art like a tech or an scientist talks about engineering, concise, clear and make senses.

miss this guy.. a legend!! he said it and did it..

I wish know about you before you left us...What a gift! Rest In Power Virgil Abloh

[virgilferrell]

Yes perspective is key, I often sit and not only think of the box in the box outside the box but all the angles and of the box itself. And my phrase is: be cool be true be you. Anything and everything is possible through the imagination inspiration creativity. Another one of my catch phrase is: if you can conceive it you can achieve it. Great job Virgil and by the way I like the name LOL

[jeandakaud]

The “ the life is so short” part hit different…😢 thank you Virgil

[ladariussanders]

Life is short it definitely is too short to be living a life that you don’t wanna live

[CMRHM]

Start your concept whenever you can - this is a big takeaway I got from Virgil's talk. Thank you Virgil!

[erikmiranda]

I remember a few years back when he had a karge number of shoe releases and people of the sneaker community were confused. It made sense after the announcement of his illness. RIP Virgil your designs are here forever.
