Came here after I heard the news! Rip to a legend. Seems somewhat symbolic that he was your first video and you made a good choice. Rip 🙏🏼

[@Willemdreess]

Watched the whole thing again, still can't believe it. Visionary in every sense of the word, he showed so many people what is possible and brought as much people as possible along his journey. Writing history at a pace that is unparalleled within the industry and far from its borders. The end of the video had me in tears, rest in power.

[@LONKALUKSV]

[@GoodProtuctOrNot]

thank you for the video

[@ruhben]

this man was a true genius! he'll be truly missed

[@Michelle-he1hg]

Honestly I didn't see the hype with Virgil, nothing he put out was really iconic. Kinda felt like trends if anything: the quote signs, zip ties, long belts, I don't see these ideas as classic or timeless. This video slightly changed my mind but it's more so due to his journey, ambition and potential. I have high hopes for him with LV tho and think he will make his mark. The best has yet to come.

[@alexisleclerc595]

Someone started those trends no one was putting the quotation marks or zip ties and this came from virgils engineering background which helped him INNOVATE in fashion. New things become trends but when the trend dies the innovation has already spread to everything so we will probobly be seeing zip ties and shit on other brands in the future similar to how past fashion has stuck and we add on

[@candaceroo]

Agreed. All thanks to Threaducation. I have a new love for this channel and hope there’ll be so much more knowledge to learn about these brands. I have the most respect for this brand knowing what went on behind it 🤍
