In March, Virgil Abloh made history when he was appointed the menswear artistic director of Louis Vuitton—becoming the first African-American to hold the position at the French fashion house. Today, the designer presented his first collection for Louis Vuitton Men’s in Paris and things got pretty emotional when longtime friend and collaborator Kanye West was there to support him in the front row.
As Abloh took his final bow at the end of the show, he ran to embrace Kanye. The two shared a truly touching moment and began crying as they hugged on the runway.
