He is survived by his loving wife Shannon Abloh, children Lowe Abloh and Gery Abloh, sister Edwin Abloh, his parents Nee and Eunice Abloh and many close friends and colleagues. For two years, Virgil bravely fought a rare, aggressive form of cancer – a blood vessel tumor. Since its diagnosis in 2019, decided to seduce his struggle privately, has undergone a number of demanding medical procedures, all under the leadership of several major institutions in the field of fashion, art and culture.

As he informs web Unilad, Abloh at the beginning of his career, in 2012, captivated the fashion world with his own brand Pyrex Vision. The following year he was even more successful – he started own brand of luxury streetwear clothing Off-White, which celebrities including Jay-Zho, Rihanna and Beyoncé have also fallen in love with. The brand, which was based in Milan, gradually noticed the LVMH concert and in 2015 it became a finalist of the LVMH Prize. Abloh’s influence in the fashion world continued to grow, which resulted in his new job – in 2018 he became the artistic director of the Louis Vuitton men’s collection.
