Virgil Abloh became the first African American art director of Louis Vutton in 2018, making history. Louis Vutton was founded in 1854 and is world renown in the fashion world. Regardless of what promise Virgil still potentially had to show, he left his mark on the world and is someone black Americans will look up to until the end of time.
