Virgil Abloh passed away from cancer at just 41 in November 2021 Abloh was often quoted saying that everything that he did was for the "17-year-old version of myself." Not only was he continuously inspired by the youth culture for his designs, but he was also dedicated to making room for others. And that's the refrain heard most this past weekend when the new of his passing became public. Stories about times that Virgil reached out to work together, to create a community, to inspire others to follow dreams. "He always worked for a greater cause than his own illustrious career: to open the door to art and fashion for future generations, so that they - unlike himself - would grow up in a creative world with people to mirror themselves in," Edward Enninful, the Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, wrote in an Instagram post following the news.
