I was on the phone to someone in the community this morning and we was talking about the overall industry and came to the question: can there ever be another Virgil?
For more context, we’re talking solely from a cultural impact perspective in terms of his influence and what he bought to the industry.
For me, the answer is no. Virgil had that magnetic aura that could turn almost anyone into a streetwear enthusiast and if you ask a lot of us, Virgil was part of the reason why we got into this fashion world. His energy was infectious in the sense that anyone would feel that urge to go create and start their own brands. He was also very approachable and supportive of the newgen, I think he would’ve loved the platform and the whole community we’ve built.
When I look around the space, I don’t know if that aura and influence can be replicated to Virgil’s extent.
What do YOU think though?
