Photo: LVMH African fashion designers on Monday paid tribute to American star designer Virgil Abloh for helping "open the door" and allowing them to be seen and heard in the global industry. Artistic director for Louis Vuitton men''s collections, Abloh, whose family was from Ghana, died on Sunday of cancer aged 41, after becoming the first major black designer to be recognised in an industry often criticised for its lack of diversity. "Thank you Virgil for your bravery and talent, which disrupted and allowed so many people to be seen and heard. You held open the door, we''ll never forget you," South African designer Thebe Magugu, the first African winner of the LVMH prize in 2019, wrote on Instagram. Abloh''s partnership with Kanye West took him from Chicago''s skate and DJ culture to the heights of the fashion world, first with his own red-hot label Off-White, and then into the luxury industry in Paris. His cancer diagnosis came just a year after he was appointed as head of menswear for Louis Vuitton, becoming the first black person to take an artistic director role at a top French fashion house.
