If you didn't know Virgil Abloh's name by now, you most certainly will soon.
Virgil Abloh is to take over at Louis Vuitton, the brand said on March 26, 2018, in a dramatic shake-up at the top of men's fashion. "His sensibility towards luxury and savoir-faire will be instrumental in taking Louis Vuitton's menswear into the future" said Michael Burke, Louis Vuitton's chairman & CEO, in an official announcement.
Abloh and his Off-White brand are a global force in the streetwear scene but before that the American designer rose to prominence as Kanye West's creative director.

'For the last eight to 10 years we've been having this conversation about what's new, and for me, that has to do with making luxury relatable across generations, ' Abloh told The New York Times. My muse has always been what people actually wear, and I am really excited to make a luxury version of that'.
