There were many telling instances with Virgil but the one for me was when this young Black designer, Wole Olosunde, shared how excited he was to meet Virgil + show him a glasses design he completed

That young man’s glasses were ripped off in the Off-White SS19 Collection smh👇🏽
Wole shared in his caption that Virgil has taken a photo of his glasses when he showed them to him smh

Anyway, we support Wole — Here’s his IG: https://instagram.com/guacawole?igshid=1mo6h3n8kjpz9
I did not like how Virgil ignored @MagnusJuliano’s work — His LV inspired work went viral + was even featured in Vogue. The whole internet was tagging Virgil + asking him to work with/offer an internship to him

A few weeks later he RT’d some yt boys genetic screensaver idea smh
Yes, he has a choice but when he constantly speaks about how creative “kids” inspire him one would think he’d choose to work with a young Black creative, whos idea is so great that it was featured many times over. Couldn’t even like a post?

His choices looking funny in the light
No the glasses aren’t identical lol but we don’t need them to be in order to know what went on

Wole literally shared in his caption that Virgil took a photo of his design + texted it to someone who he would not disclose to Wole
