The fashion and music world is in mourning. We have lost a friend, a visionary, a legend, a cultural icon. Virgil Abloh was one of the most influential designers of his generation, he wanted to share only the good things with the world, he did not want to worry anyone and so he privately battled the cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer in which a tumor occurs in the heart for several years. The designer died in hospital in Houston on Sunday, according to sources familiar with the matter.
