Virgil Abloh, a “once in a generation creative mind” as per Hailey Bieber, died at the age of 41 because of CANCER.


He is one of the most prominent black artist/designer in the fashion world by being the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear collection and the founder of a haute-streetwear called Off-White.


He also collaborated with multiple brands and one of them was Kanye West, who lead a tribute for him during his Sunday Service.


Abloh was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer called cardiac angiosarcoma. He underwent numerous treatments while still leading multiple institutions in the fashion world. Furthermore, it is crazy to think that he chose to endure his battle silently since 2019.


Cancer is on the rise, and everyone around us seems to be getting it.


Is it because of the pollution? Pizza? Burgers?


Are we getting any closer to a cure?


Yes! There are winning stories of people who survived from cancer.


There is hope. Therefore, never give up the fight.


Whether you chose to fight battle in private or in public to raise awareness, we respect it. Just remember, We Walk By Faith Doyle-Gilchrist Cancer Foundation is with you all the way.
