While working with LV, Abloh also carried out a personal mission to introduce social and environmental issues to the fashion stage. One of them is the message of anti-racism and anti-homophobia that he pinned during a fashion show in Paris in January.

Earlier this year, she did state her partnership with LVMH was an opportunity to, “expand opportunities for diverse individuals and promote greater equality and inclusion in the [fashion] industry.”

Abloh’s departure for good also invited condolences from other fashion houses. As Kim Jones of Dior said, “So sad to hear of the passing of Virgil, one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.”

Also the fashion house Gucci via Twitter account that stated, “His vision will live on through the trail that he set throughout his career.”

Celebrities and world celebrities also expressed their condolences for the death of Abloh. Some of them are French football team striker Kylian Mbappe, American singer Pharell Williams, British actor Idris Elba and French actor Omar Sy.
