Virgil Abloh Sitting Out NY Fashion Week


Virgil Abloh, the new artistic director of Louis Vuitton's men's wear, who has been accused of copying unknown stylists [click here here and here if you missed that], is sitting out New York fashion week this year...

Virgil tells Vogue,
“I’m shifting gears. I was just tired, so I went to the doctor. Ultimately, everything is fine, but the doctor told me ‘this pace that you’ve sort of pushed your body — to fly all these miles, do all these different projects — is not good for your health.’”
“Essentially I’m working from home for the next three months, and in large part all my marketing events I’m cancelling.”
“Being busy isn’t working. But I’m using this as I do everything else, as a way to propel me forward.”
