He had a degree in architecture, not fashion when he started out designing tee shirts. Kanye West became Virgil\u2019s mentor at a time the rapper\u2019s own career was taking off. Virgil went from designing streetwear to becoming the first Black artistic director of the French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. Robin Givhan, a Pulitzer-prize winning Senior Critic-at-Large at the Washington Post was so fascinated by Virgil\u2019s wide-ranging talent that she wrote a book about him called&amp;nbsp;Make it Ours. We talk about Virgil\u2019s tragic death at the age of 41 and how his work has had an historic impact on fashion. \u201cNow What?\u201d is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta. ","author_name":"Now What?
