I’m in shock, after ignorantly overlooking Virgil for so long as a copy cat designer with very “on the nose” ideas and designs, this video and analysis opened my eyes to the deeper metaphor of some of his work not described or shown by many others, if at all. Thank you so much this experience 🙏🏽
The show notes alone are so indicative of Virgil's background in Academia and science. His reinterpretation of lab concepts like error analysis and implicit sample bias is a mirror image to his 3% theory. I mean you really could make the argument that his shows are just a lab in motion. The show notes are the brief yet comprehensive introduction to a write up or glossary from any lab manual. He twists these hard, scientific thought processes into just edging into the fashion world. You can really tell he's an engineer and academic by training, and that fuses so firmly into his creative process. It's something that despite my varied opinions on Virgil's work at LV & Off-White, I've always really liked about him as a face in fashion.
You’ve opened my eyes to the true passion and care that Virgil puts into his work. When everyone in the fashion industry shits on him constantly you start to become complicit with the fact that he is a “bad” designer, when in reality he is an excellent curator and has created great shows.
We have to get the idea or the notion out of our heads that there are bad & good designers ...fashion is art and art is subjective. If you don’t like someone’s designs that’s ok but maybe somebody else loves them.
He’s a great creative director, I agree with that. But I feel like a lot of people don’t realize how many people are on the design team for off white and LV. Virgil is very rarely the actual designer behind the clothing. Not hating on the guy but when it comes down to his actual designs I tend to dislike like(example: rain jacket dress worn by Gigi)
J ADED that’s why I said curator. Virgil is by no stretch of the imagination an excellent “designer”, but he is great at making and sticking to show concepts and choosing the right silhouettes, colors, and prints, etc.
I was working on my first creative project when I realized Virgil’s ingenuity. After researching his work, I learned that he built his DNA in the most advanced yet acceptable way, meaning that his (personal) branding is so strong that he can transform literally anything to make it recognizable as his own which is on par with his 3% approach, as you mentioned. As an artist, I noticed that this is far from easy so it made me respect his artistry more. Working on his new vocabulary for the first collection, Virgil asked himself and his team “The problem that we have now in 2018 is everyone owns every type of garment already. What’s our signature twist (3%) in terms of things that you already have in your closet, as to why you would buy it again?” One of these signature twists was the ceramic chain links he added on the accessories. “The chain hearkens to Abloh’s origins in streetwear while offering a sly commentary on the wearer’s enslavement to branded luxury and, in overtly preventing theft, on the desirability of luxury goods.” This is an example on how he builds a strong vocabulary from scratch which is cohesive throughout his collections and instantly recognizable as his own. Here’s a behind-the-scenes video on this. It’s his first day in the office; ua-cam.com/video/2kgrdS5YVBQ/v-deo.html There was also a Pink Floyd “The Dark side of the Moon” reference with the prism and the rainbow. An idea hit him in the 5 hours that he flew to Paris after his role got announced which was a metaphor of leaving Off-White and hitting the prism of Vuitton and then having access to the full color spectrum. He has also said “No ones a designer anymore, we’re all stylists. Of course there’s new, it’s people that are inventing from zero. I’m more occupied with sort of conceptualizing the past to get to somewhere new.” This concept was actually an architecture movement wich started mid 20th century called postmodernism. It’s clear that his work is heavily influenced from this movement. There’s an Off-White collection named after it. Source; an in depth behind-the-scenes video on the preparations for the first show: vimeo.com/276160345 People judge simply because of ignorance. I read your comment saying that you’re not really with the ‘stan or ban’ mentality at all and that you just try to take art on its own terms, then figure out what’s being said and how it’s saying it. I fully agree with this. It’s rare to find people with this mentality. People like me and you just simply do our research. It’s a shame that most people are sheep and don’t even bother to delve into Virgil’s work because of narratives formed by others. Thank you for this video and for clearing up the ignorance regarding Virgil. I hope you do more of these. Ignorance is bliss 💫
I truly appreciate you dropping knowledge and some resources for people to dig in further!! This kind of thing is so valuable. Always appreciate your contributions, Kite 🪁🪁
Watching this video one day after Virgil's passing gives it a whole new meaning. He had such a large impact on streetwear and we would not be where we are right now without him. Love you Virgil, never forgotten
I've been looking for a channel like this for so long! Finally, a fashion channel that actually talks about the art and story of brands and fashion designers rather than people just flashing off how much money they've spent on a new trend.
Happy to break the mold 😌 But you should look at The Fashion Archive, Haute La Mode, Anthony Deluca, and Loic as well. They all do excellent thoughtful work as well.
This LV spring summer 2019 came out the same time I dropped out of varsity while studying architecture, when I saw Virgil post on his instagram "you can do it too..." it immediately removed any doubts I had about the decision I made... if he sees this (doubtful) I just wanna say Thank You.
Hi! A few more info concerning the show and the collection, as I was working at Vuitton at the time of the Show : My colleague who was working as a textile engineer/buyer, told me that usually men's collection have around three times less different materials than women's. For this collection, in the first two weeks, Virgil had already ordered as many material as a women's show. So by the end he must have had many more, which was quite revolutionary. Regarding the explanation we had prior to the show for the context, the show was supposed to start with black models wearing white clothes, to represent his time at off white. Then, it was supposed to be white models wearing more tailored and colored clothes, to represent the usual customer of LV. And it was supposed to lead to this explosion of colors and textures, materials, that represent him arriving at his position as a creative director. I think in the end it got mixed up a bit in order to present the collection and the products in a certain way but the concept that we were presented was that. Finally, most of the attendance was actually LV's employees. They tried to invite students, and I think there were some, but for security reasons (and also to avoid resell of the invits), it had to be much more limited that originally planned, unfortunately. Hope this is useful for Fashion History!
Rest in Peace to one of the greatest. Virigl was the culture. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this video and your heartfelt message in your Instagram post, Bliss. Virgil did so much more than we will ever truly know, in my opinion
Could Virgil inviting "kids" to his show be seen as a reference to the Martin Margiela S/S 90 show when he invited local kids? That margiela show is seen as game-changing and my guess this LV show will be held to a similar pedestal in the future. In both shows "kids" could signify the generational shift which happened in fashion at the given times.
I really enjoyed this video, glad to see someone explore his work without tearing into him. It's so cool that he sent you the show notes! This video also made me question why I haven't subscribed to your Patreon, which I've quickly rectified 😤
I am actually insanely impressed with what Virgil has been able to do with the resources at LV and contrary to my initial thoughts when I first heard that Virgil was taking over as Artisitic Director I think he will go on to do really monumental things for himself as well as LV. Love the video as always, Bliss!
Bliss Foster arguably Demna Gvasalia is one of the first designers to understand our current internet culture and exploit it for fashion. Quite interesting to incorporate meme and clickbait culture into a runway show.
Jesus I had already considered Virgil a genius designer with a phenomenal workrate but until this video never understood the actual breadth of his genius. Sick video, Abloh's come-up to his position now will inspire generations of designers from so many different creative backgrounds. "you can do it too..." gave me goosebumps
Thank you for sharing this with us very informative I think everyone loves Louis Vuitton but it was good to hear how much this luxury house has changed and grew just the fact of making Virgil the creative director over the whole mans department I mean that was big it really just brought joy to me to hear how much work was put into this collection thank u thank u so much I loved this
Just to expand on the whole wizard of Oz theme in this, Vigil made a post on instagram about The Wiz (1978), which was a reimagined take on the wizard of oz with an all black cast. Really enjoyed this vid btw
I'll admit I was on the fence about this video because the production quality looked eh. But man oh man your quality (and delivery) of content and material is *french parody* mwah! You got a new sub, man.
@@BlissFoster Hmm like those cartoony French (or Italian) chefs that put their hand against their lips and kiss it and go MWAH! because their food is so good lol very much a compliment
Well explained. If I had money I would buy every single piece off this runway. Virgil is the only designer who did that for me...and most of his shows does that for me, while remaining overwhelmingly artistic👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
Loved how Bliss actually went in depth of Virgil’s work, references and vision as a young designer instead of “meming” him like “haha virgin ablo off-white bad i’m so funny” just like most fashion youtubers do
this is best video sumarising virgil as a artist on the internet, I really liked it! Not a big virgil fan before but i see him from a new perspective now, thanks.
Thanks so much, Leonela! You should check out the Margiela series! That’s how Virgil found me originally. There’s 11 episodes out so far with a 12th coming in about 10 days 💫💫
I had to take breaks while making that last part bc it was hitting me kinda hard too. Welcome 💫💫 Theres tons of other runway analyses on the channel. Kiko, CDG, Raf, Rick and tons more
I know its part of a broader debate but, would love to hear your take on this sort of new definition of luxury that Virgil´s is trying to convey. Great vids!
Welcome Patrick! You should check out the Margiela series!! I’m going thru every show Martin did one episode for each runway. No need to go in order, you can skip around 💫💫
Excellent! This runway show is what made me get into wanting to see and learn more about fashion! Thank you Bliss for an amazing breakdown and can't wait to subscribe to your patreon! -Bianca
Thanks so much for the kind words, Bianca :) Virgil’s a brilliant guy, I have a breakdown of his FW21 Mens show coming in a few days. Can’t wait to see you on the Discord server 🦾

Fantastic analysis, I always thought Virgil wasn’t an amazing designer because of the negative narrative surrounding him copying other designs and off-white being a “hype beast” brand. But after hearing you talking about the show, I understand that Virgil has much more substance than what diet Prada says.
This is probably the only piece of media of this caliber covering Virgil beyond his own interviews
@Hilma Ivel no one does
I’m in shock, after ignorantly overlooking Virgil for so long as a copy cat designer with very “on the nose” ideas and designs, this video and analysis opened my eyes to the deeper metaphor of some of his work not described or shown by many others, if at all. Thank you so much this experience 🙏🏽
Wow, that’s a tall compliment, Julio. Thank you 🙏
I swear if Bliss isnt invited to his next show
🤞😬🤞
Will Simmons on god, he might as well he’s the future of explaining the shows to regular people🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️

@@ifyouweremeforreal dude the show notes on grailed are 600$ most people cant get there hands on them anyway

The show notes alone are so indicative of Virgil's background in Academia and science. His reinterpretation of lab concepts like error analysis and implicit sample bias is a mirror image to his 3% theory. I mean you really could make the argument that his shows are just a lab in motion. The show notes are the brief yet comprehensive introduction to a write up or glossary from any lab manual. He twists these hard, scientific thought processes into just edging into the fashion world. You can really tell he's an engineer and academic by training, and that fuses so firmly into his creative process. It's something that despite my varied opinions on Virgil's work at LV & Off-White, I've always really liked about him as a face in fashion.
Sure
This made me happy i read the comments
what's your instagram?
You’ve opened my eyes to the true passion and care that Virgil puts into his work. When everyone in the fashion industry shits on him constantly you start to become complicit with the fact that he is a “bad” designer, when in reality he is an excellent curator and has created great shows.
Strong agree. Thanks for the kind words, Levi 😊
