This week, designer Virgil Abloh’s final menswear collection for Louis Vuitton debuted at Miami Art Basel. The show came just days after Abloh’s sudden death of cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer. He was just 41.

The son of Ghanaian immigrant parents to the US, Abloh studied engineering and architecture before finding fame as Kanye West’s creative director. Over the course of his career, Abloh dabbled in music, art, architecture and design. But he’s perhaps best remembered for redefining luxury fashion to include chic hoodies and highly covetable sneakers.

Kim Kardashian accepted the 2021 People’s Choice Award for fashion icon of the year from 2020’s recipient, Tracee Ellis Ross. “From one Balenciaga-lover to another,” Ross began as she introduced Kim, who strutted down the stage to give her speech in an all-black, body-conscious, jacquard corseted Balenciaga outfit reminiscent of the infamous incognito sheath she wore to perfectly coincide with the 2021 Met Gala theme.
