The entire world was stunned to discover that Virgil Abloh, at just 41 years old was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. The cancer battle he fought has had an impact on Hollywood fashion, as well as other fields. His designs and his passion of fashion were loved and sought-after across the world. He was the founding member of Kanye West's creative team before launching Off-White(tm). Then, Abloh was the artistic director of the menswear line of Louis Vuitton and a role as a model in a variety of creative fields.

He is among the very few Black men who have helmed an iconic luxury brand and will be remembered forever for the limits he set. This year we're honoring Virgil Abloh, a man who has a passion for work that we'll never forget, and iconic pieces of clothes.

Hood by Air was once the most popular brand. It was because of Abloh's vision. The font was derived from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and was the result of a long-running collaboration between a variety of designers. It was a major moment in streetwear-meets-luxury, and this shirt was quick to sell out all over the world.
