I knew some nicca was not gonna pay attention to what I was saying and mention ozwald eventually smh
I also love the fact you assume I don't know who ozwald is, even though I'm from London 
Yes ozwald got a store on saville row, which is an immense achievement in itself, BUT he never took over the reigns of one of the mega fashion houses which is the endgame for every designer. Every designer. It's a level above in the fashion world. That opportunity is only given to a handful of people and it's basically the fashion equivalent of being given a key to your city. It's a status changer and it's why plenty of people like Raf, Denma etc put their own brands on hold or left their own brands when they got offered the chance to take over the reigns of a Prada, LV, Givenchy etc. Why the fucc you think Virgil was balling his eyes out on Ye's shoulder after his first LV collection. The level of achievement he'd reached was astronomical for any designer let alone a Black one in that super racist industry.
"Look him up"
Edit
And btw, i'm not trying to disrespect Ozwald's ting either. He's a trailblazer and legend too. But i don't think you understand the level Virgil got to. He was even rubbing shoulders at the top of the art world for a few years, which the likes of Kim Jones is only now just starting to do. Virgil's ting was just different.

Man had cancer n took one of if not the biggest job in fashion....
A dream job for a designer
That's a bitter sweet situation to be in
RIP Virgil but you still got that c00n Curly as your avi.
He was the quintessential Millennial culture overlord... This would be like if Ralph Lauren died in the 80's...
The good really die young huh, this is fukked up. I'm not too big on fashion but his impact is really settling in now. Dude made it from the bottom to the very top and of course he still had moves to make.
fukked up, way too young.

The man is dead and you still seem personally offended that he put fur on a handbag that you don’t own.
