Who Will Replace Virgil Abloh? Louis Vuitton CEO Speaks About the Delicate Topic
The CEO also added that there are no limitations to becoming a potential candidate. There is an exception, however, when it comes to the craft.
The fashion brand sought the same unparalleled dedication that the previous artistic director exuded. He explained, “You have to have an appreciation of craft, you have to have an appreciation of materials, you have to have an appreciation of image and graphics, beyond, of course, products. You have to have an appreciation of the client. Virgil was always in the stores.”
“Virgil was not only a genius designer, a visionary, he was also a man with a beautiful soul and great wisdom,” said Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.
Louis Vuitton may take all the time they need to find a new successor. Nevertheless, Abloh will remain an inspiration to many.
