In Mahfuz Sultan and Chloe Wayne Sultan’s new documentary for Vogue on the legacy of Virgil Abloh—titled simply V—the designer's closest collaborators pay tribute to his powerful legacy.
as the designer and polymathic creative was known among his friends—we see one of Abloh’s best friends, the vintage car dealer Arthur Kar, driving a familiar route around Paris. On any given day, Abloh could likely be found in the passenger seat with Kar listening to hip-hop as the two drifted in and out of conversation, or Abloh worked on his phone. “He just wanted to enjoy the music and his time with me,” Kar explains in the film.
To do so, the pair set up shop for two days in the Hôtel Costes—a favorite of Abloh’s that often served as his gravitational center in Paris—in the midst of Paris Fashion Week back in February, inviting a who’s who of Abloh’s collaborators to step into some of his most iconic designs for Off-White and share memories of their time spent with Abloh in the City of Lights.
And while Abloh’s friends and collaborators reminisce on both the bigger moments of their time together , as well as the more everyday moments , both Chloe and Mahfuz were adamant that the film should honor his genius as a designer, too. “Working with Gabriella, one of our goals was always to show everyone what an amazing fashion designer he was—to have a true fashion moment that honors his legacy is one of the most important fashion designers ever, in our opinion,” says Mahfuz.
