Virgil Abloh: How he 'helped black people dream in fashion'
" Virgil gave me The Ability to think and imagine I could be in spaces that weren't necessarily for Black People in the First Place . "
From musicians to models to sports stars, many people have paid tribute to designer Virgil Abloh This Week .
On Sunday it was announced The Founder of the Off-White fashion label.
He became recognised while working as Kanye West 's creative Director - and later made history as The First African-American to lead Louis Vuitton .
'The Ability to dream'But his influence has not been limited to those in The Celebrity world.
Radio 1 Newsbeat has been speaking to fashion designers and students about The Legacy Virgil Abloh leaves behind.
" He opened The Doors for A Generation of thinkers from marginalised communities, " says Maxwell Shoroye.
Maxwell is a graduate and designer in men's fashion, and the 23-year-old credits Virgil for his impact on The Black community.
" Virgil gave us The Ability to dream, Because we [Black People ] don't necessarily see ourselves in the media in good ways. "
And that's something Bianca Saunders can relate to.
The 28-year-old has her own menswear brand (also called Bianca Saunders), and feels having a black person at the very top of the industry has been " influential".
Bianca already had a sense of what her brand would be when she was a Student - But seeing Virgil achieve as much as he did inspired her.
" It gave me an idea of where the Glass Ceiling could actually go - Because there's not many people that look Like Me in the industry in terms of being black and in fashion. "
Bianca feels it's possible for black creatives to have their own brands and believes there are opportunities Out There .
Fashion Student Kiara Morris feels Virgil represented Something Special .
'What Black Excellence is about'" He showed you can make it and not To Let anything ever Hold You Back , " Kiara, 20, says.
" The Fashion industry has been traditionally white and Middle Class . But hearing him speak in interviews, it felt like that's what Black Excellence is about. "
Kiara feels Virgil showed " there's a space" for Black People , particularly in luxury retail and fashion.
" I'm not saying I'll be like him, But I have someone to Look Up to.
" And I want to say Thank You [to him] for showing me I can have a seat at The Table . "
Rip Virgil Abloh ?
No One will forget the impact you had. God Bless you My Friend .
It's Virgil's multiple talents that made him such an innovative and disruptive figure.
As well As One of The Most influential designers in The Fashion industry, he was also a DJ, an artist, and had degrees in Civil Engineering and architecture.
" When you look at his work you wonder how he did it? And Then you realise it's through his Hard Work , taking opportunities and his creative genius, " Kiara says.
Maxwell adds: " Virgil knew The Power of combining different walks or different industries to create new things. "
Having a range of voices and stories " makes fashion exciting, " which is what Virgil was able to do, he says.
And that's what Maxwell is trying to bring to his own identity as a designer.
Virgil inspired me greatly to leave my traditional path and push towards the career I wanted. Rip to a legendary figure and someone who inspired more people than he would ever know ?️?️

" Everyone loved him. He wasn't someone that I ever saw as problematic or a bad person, just someone who's genuine. "
