I think virgil is just far removed from the fashion community in general. Not saying he is egotistical or anything. i think WVB was right when saying he has no style. Its obviously just a case of him taking massive shortcuts. i hope everything is well with the man. being outed by the black community and the fashion community is like having your two worlds ripped from you.

[@baribigavelli]

Forget EVERYTHING else that happened with Virgil recently. That Pop Smoke cover was disrespectful asf he know Pop wouldn’t not have liked that & he still tried to debut it like it was the most fire cover he ever made

[@jou3456]

Agreed imagine someone editing out ur tatts the disrespect is real

[@Fleetwootmack]

Fr, like he made the pfp, Yeezus, and mbdtf covers idk how he fucked up that much on pop smokes.

[@jug6290]

Cult Boy like the fact that he donated $50 for a BLM fundraiser then has the audacity to post it on his story, telling others to do the same. I personally have no where near his level of wealth but still managed to donate double that. The $50 he donated won’t even let you buy a pair of Off-White socks on his site, further triggering people that a man selling overpriced goods would donate a messily $50 and call it a day.

Yea ok. Y’all bitch and complain about every single thing when it comes to design

[@lordnermal4361]

Sh8y 96 And what do you know about design? How do you think these designers feel having their ideas stolen and ripped off by someone and there being no repercussions? These people have their own ideas and Virgil just runs off with them because he’s to lazy to think of his own.

[@laurent4122]

I completely agree. How is it that designers with such a lack of creativity assume the highest positions, and those with a true vision never rise?

Thank goodnes they don't forgot the LV logos on those bags. Without them one might think this is a designer Potpourri party with JC De Castelbajac , Walter Van Beirendonck , Franco Moschino, Yamamoto (both Yōji &Kansai ) ,Elsa Schiaparelli , and mannnnny others.

great video, always love the use of d1 music in the background

[@annabarr1304]

I can understand why others would point out cultural appropriation to Walter, but he has always had diverse casting for all of his career. I want to know though how diverse his and Virgil's ateliers are.

[@randomboy7021]

Is that black ops 2 background music at the beginning?

[@doedelbroesel3239]

I studied in Antwerp and know Walter from there and even if he is right in his accusations about Virgil copycatting him, he himself is in no position to say something about it, while he uses his own students as a constant reference and inspiration for his own label, copycatting them. Shame on him! And yes it’s true, in Antwerp we learned to get inspiration by periods/historical references and on ethnical references. These are the only to references Walter builds his designs around, no wonder half his collections are culturally inappropriate... such a douchbag

[@chaayaje]

when i think of Virgil, I never think originality or creativity

[@anteatershow1331]

im pretty sure vigirl took the labeling and quote thing from Basquiat not ryder

[@mundimundi7]

I just saw your video a bit late but actually at the perfect time! Because is exactly what I think and happening in the creative world at the moment with this invasion of blackness creativity, as if society should somehow recover towards past wrong colonial era.But the point is, being just black isn't enough to fill the creativity gap. Being black is not enough to become a good artist or designer or even a good president. Here we risk to create an opposite result and infact impoverishing the entire creative sector. And if you dare to make any criticism you are immediately accused of racism. No ! not in my name. It is not enough to be white, black, yellow, pink or blu to become a good artist. PERIOD

Off white is like a “safe” brand that doesn’t innovate or try anything new. It’s the new entry level designer

[@silascolombara8397]

I feel like people just buy the same things from off white- belts, logo hoodies and shirts, etc. But their less popular stuff I've found to be pretty cool actually, even though I wouldn't wear it

[@bruh-mv3dd]

Silas Colombara alot of it is cool but they lack innovation. It’s just recycling what’s worked and modernizing it almost. It’s good for people who are new to fashion so they can learn where the inspiration comes from I guess.

[@xn-triq7607]

IMO Kanye always was, and always will be "the real designer" and "the true creative spirit" Virgil was the only way LV could obtain the closest thing to Kanye but without the turbulent genius mindset and public up and downs perceptively, now we are really getting to see the true fundamentals of Virgil's creativity, and unfortunately it's nowhere close to Kanye's.

This shit ain't new for Virgil. A friend of my mother's know Virgil, and her son was a big fan of him. The son also owns a clothing brand, called COLRS (www.colrsbaby.com). He once got to meet Virgil and sit down and talk with him, he also showed him one of his upcoming pieces for his COLRS brand, a yellow jacket with a bunch of doodles (instagram.com/p/BsvcJ1khUtC/). A couple months later Virgil copies the design right off for one of his OFF-WHITE collections. This became a big thing and was covered by some fashion news outlets n shit. Virgil isn't a real designer, he's a businessman posing as a designer.
