Kanye West felt all the feels during Thursday’s (June 21) debut of Virgil Abloh’s Spring/Summer 2019 Louis Vuitton collection in Paris.
As Abloh walked the runway at the conclusion of the show, he and West embraced each other in an emotional hug. Both men, who previously interned at Fendi together, were in tears as Abloh was met with a standing ovation from those in attendance.
In addition to West, the Louis Vuitton show welcomed a who’s who of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian-West, Travis Scott and Rihanna.
In March of this year, Abloh was named the new artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton, making him the first African-American to hold the title.
Abloh previously served as creative director for West and has also worked with Nike, Jimmy Choo and Moncler.

GAÝYYYYYYYY
He just realized he has the drawing skills of a 6 year old and cant “design” without Virgil doing 100% of the Work
That Drake line stung so hard he had to got across the world to kiss and make up with his former ghost designer
Good for Virgil and Ye. Keep breaking down barriers so others can do their thing in high fashion. Shout out to dapper dan and Pharrell. All on their way to being fashion icons.
Fuck Kanye. Ignorant racist MAGA supporting motherfucker.
