Virgil Abloh, 41, Louis Vuitton’s menswear designer, and founder of Off-White, Italian luxury fashion house died after a cancer battle Sunday.
“We are devastated to announce the passing of our beloved Virgil Abloh, a fiercely devoted father, husband, son, brother, and friend. He is survived by his loving wife Shannon Abloh, his children Lowe Abloh and Grey Abloh, his sister Edwina Abloh, his parents Nee and Eunice Abloh, and numerous dear friends and colleagues,” an Instagram post read.
