AnOther Magazine’s founder Jefferson Hack pays tribute to the late creative director, whose passing represents a colossal loss to culture
In more than 20 years of attending fashion shows there are only a handful of genuinely revolutionary moments that stand out for me. Virgil’s debut show for Louis Vuitton, for Spring/Summer 2019, titled, was one such. It was magical: the rainbow-painted catwalk in the Palais-Royal’s gardens spoke of inclusivity – all genders, all races, all classes welcome. Approximately 700 students wore specially designed T-shirts in a spectrum of colours.
“I don’t believe in genres, or disciplines of creativity, I like when they blur. I want to see this as a renaissance. I want to see some non-genre-defining amazingness, because I believe that our generation has that.”Louis VuittonWe are fortunate that Virgil was an obsessive archivist. He was making history in the moment and he knew the importance of cataloguing that work.
Virgil was also one of the few designers of his generation to truly push fashion film towards the cinematic. The storytelling ambition in each of his collection videos for Louis Vuitton is epic – a reaffirmation of the Black canon in contemporary culture, tracing the birth of rave and hip-hop poetics and sonics, the African American exiled in Europe, jazz, free-form, improvisational thinking and the Black avant-garde.
