"Anything is achievable" - Virgil Abloh

[@ajaini1709]

Rest in peace. Inspired millions , a true goat 🐐 🙏🏽❤️

[@kendramills2138]

So sad

[@dominicedokpolo5561]

He was so embracing of the culture in such a genuine way - which he matched with his actions by consistently showing love to UK cultural figures by allowing them to inhabit spaces in fashion and other parts of the creative industry. Thank you Virgil for continually breaking down doors and leaving it open for others to follow suit. You will forever be remembered as a creative force, pioneer, cultural shifter and innovator. Rest in perfect peace.

[@raiders18dr]

Could have listened to an hour of this

[@Thebearmre7]

The full show is 2 hours with music

[@solomonoyemade5630]

A superbly eloquent expression of the ability to overcome limiting beliefs and give oneself a licence to create freely & passionately, as well as starting where you are, using what you have to get what you need, and staying humble. Reminds me of the film Luc Besson's Lucy where she started using all of her brains capacity and says "I'm colonizing my own brain" or better yet when Morpheus Says "he's starting to believe". Thanks for the inspirational interview!

[@mpfumowallace3890]

The movie "Lucy" and " Limitless " have the same impact on me,using full intellectual potential 💥

[@Soulr]

I could listen to this man for hours

[@cmooreHD]

Really cool interview. Made me think a lot of my times with how I grew up and what I was interested in and how I’m in certain places I am in. Especially being from Toronto and coming across different landscapes of art. The last part about consequences was definitely the best part of this as well.

[@thomasvoss1090]

Really genuine and really humble. Big ups Virgil!

[@TheWillBlade]

Majority of designers don’t dress all that well

[@ineverswag]

Yung Kei yes they do!

[@EMIN3MFAN96]

@@ineverswag a lot of designers wear really uniform outfits, like the same two colors every day. they dress well but a lot dont dress very interestingly

[@iamcornholio5587]

Virgil has a laid back style of dressing thats why
