The passing of designer Virgil Abloh hit the world of fashion incredibly hard. Not only was Virgil seen as a creative genius but was the brains behind several iconic pieces from some of our favorite high-end brands including Louis Vuitton and Off-White. After being such a big name in the fashion world it is no surprise that Abloh’s craft and creativity influenced the work of others. He changed the way individuals looked at streetwear and even how it was created. 

Although many brands have created streetwear pieces, Virgil Abloh elevated the scene.

To show our appreciation of Virgil’s contributions to the fashion world, we have listed some of our favorite streetwear brands the icon paved the way for. 


1017 Ayxl

1017 Ayxl is a streetwear brand with several colors, eye-catching prints and silloutes to play with.

By playing around with several different styles, moods and fabrics the label is able to portray the typical streetwear style, but still maintain a fly, edgy profile with pieces like form fitting dresses and edgy parkas.
