    So very sad. Way too young to go and a great talent. His poor wife and kids. May he rest in peace.

  2. Mei says:

    Such sad news. I didn’t know much about him but he came across as humble and friendly, and seemed to be on his way to being a true trailblazer. May his family find some strength in how he touched a lot of people’s lives for the better.

  3. Genevieve says:

    My sister is devastated. Was a vast loss to the artistic world and community.

    For those in the Greater Boston area, the ICA-Boston currently has an exhibit of Virgil Abloh’s work running through the end of December.

    • Anony83 says:

      Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to try to check it out! I have a friend who I’m sure would want to go.

    • Mike says:

      I think there is also an exhibit for him at the Miami Art Basil exhibition in a few days. He was such a trailblazer for people of color to get a seat at the biggest tables in fashion

    WHAT!!!

    On a totally different note regarding the Tiptoe reindeer story, I have a deep seated desire to dance upon the graves of people who place polar bears and penguins together. I’m not saying how they get in their graves, so totally not a threat 😂

    Damn you , cancer.

    I am looking forward to Mahershala Ali playing Blade. I remember reading that Marvel approached him about joining the MCU and his request was for Blade so they made it happen.

    • goofpuff says:

      I’m really excited about that too. Wesley Snipes really made me love the whole Blade series. I’m looking forward to the Marvel version.

      • Lemons says:

        I still watch Blade to this day. My dad had us watching each Blade when it came out on DVD (or was it VHS at first? I don’t know how old these movies are!)

    RIP

    I was sad to hear about this yesterday. I wasn’t familiar with him, but h was so young and clearly opening doors that others will walk through.

    • Lemons says:

      This is why I find this so sad. Virgil really seemed like he was trying to bring up other diverse voices and talents…and now that energy, that’s gone…
