I hope that, more than anything, episodes like this show you that you’re capable of performing good analysis. Critical analysis isn’t a superpower, it’s a skill like anything else. If you trust yourself, and take your time, you can do what I do 💫💫

Maaaan everything about this video was beautiful. It was way more than I had expected. And I can’t lie, I began to tear up towards the ending. Thank you bliss and the people who contributed to this. And thank you for all the work you put into this channel, it’s truly amazing, I’ve learned so much from it. Not only fashion wise, but also what the fashion you talk about teaches

You could really tell he wasn’t holding anything back, so much inspiration in every show💚💚

I rewatched this today, I had some new thoughts.

The figure 8, infinity symbol and many of the looks use the hourglass shape.

The hourglass is a timing device, it’s finite, and requires a conscious turn to reset and to restart a new passage of time. This feels like a symbol of the end, but the start of something new.

“The hourglass, sometimes with the addition of metaphorical wings, is often depicted as a symbol that human existence is fleeting, and that the "sands of time" will run out for every human life….” - Wikipedia.

SMH I’m the model that was crying 💅

thank you for these videos on Virgil,,I'm new into the fashion world and I've been using your youtube channel as a way to learn new things and get to know the history of this industry. Seeing the mark that virgil made and the different door he opened for people of melanin has did nothing but boost my confidence. I know it wont be tomorrow or next week but I'm stocked about the journey im about to go on to get to the same position virgil was once in. Hopefully one day I can pay tribute to him and show others that it is possible for them.

With the plague doctor mask, I would say that’s almost definitely the case due to the bag with the flowers , as plague doctors always carried flowers due to the belief of bad smells causing disease

really amazing work! so honored my comment on the last looks was included <3
doesn't have to do with the collection per se, but there's a virgil moment i keep going back to, from the behind the scenes of fw21. it's at the end of the video where he's looking at some kids skating in front of LV hq and talks abt how he plans to build some modernist sculptures in that spot, which are going to be very artistic and all, but secretly they'll be made just for the kids to skate on. i think that little thought summarizes his career, his mindset and his impact better than anything

In the wake of Virgil’s sudden demise it is no contest that Virgil is the blueprint for how to approach creativity with love and a sense of WONDER that is almost child like and honing one’s creativity to create a polished and well thought out work. Rest easy soldier you’ve served well. 🕊

Wow, this made me cry. Virgil was one of a kind. He definitely stood out from the rest of the designers. He's so missed.

As somebody who is kind of new to runways these analyses are so helpful in finding the deeper meaning in the shows, thank you Bliss.

The sheer amount of historical and cultural references, easter eggs and playful elements amaze me. We truly do stand on the shoulders of giants, thank you Virgil. It is up to us to continue his legacy by embracing our childlike wonder and making art the child or 17 yr old version of us would love.

Thank you bliss and the community for contributing to this amazing video. I'd love to see more of these.

Everyone did a great job and had wonderful ideas.

Virgil did a fantastic job.

I’ve never cared for LV and I skipped almost every show for years but he made the brand more relatable to me.

on the post that Tyler made to commemorate Virgil's death, he said '' but Virgil was ALWAYS a cheerleader. For everyone.''
I thought this was one of the most beautiful compliments. We should all be less bitter and jealous and others and celebrate each other's success.

Thank you Mr Abloh rest in peace.

You are doing amazing work Bliss. Thank you for uniting the community and everyone’s thoughts.

Probably reaching, but also Tyler on a bike, following on from the kid riding their bike in the 'Virgil was Here' video

There is a reason you are the king of fashion youtube.

i cried so much throughout this video. I've been an artist my whole life but I never understood fashion, never got the point. Until Virgil showed the whole world and I that art is what you make it to be and it could be anything. I have since fallen in love with this medium and and very thankful to have run into videos such as this made by thoughtful creators

I’m sobbing for so many reasons

Beautiful designs
