First up, renowned Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck has accused Virgil Abloh of copying, pointing out multiple similarities between Louis Vuitton’s SS21 and his own designs. He told Belgian publication Knack Weekend:
“It’s very clear that Virgil Abloh is not a designer, he has no language of his own, no vision. He can’t create something of his own season after season and that is painful.”
