Evan emphasizes Virgil's journey and his philosophy on proving oneself, thriving often, and just doing it.
Virgil's rules include crafting your own path and disrupting the status quo.

His multifaceted approach includes interests beyond fashion, such as marketing and furniture design, showing his genre-less thinking. Evan wraps up with insights on how Virgil connects the dots between various influences, making his work necessary and important.

And Just Do It, if you have an idea, Just Do it! stop thinking about it and do something to one day it becomes real

Just do it and when he said that the 17 year old version of himself didn't think it was possible really gave me some hope. I'm 16 looking to do something like he is doing with fashion and furniture and hearing this gave me a boost 💯.
Same bro!
RIP Virgil
Forever you will be remembered for the great contribution to the world of fashion you defined it
💛💛#Believe - Feb

He grew up in Rockford, Illinois. Google the city. Even more reason to celebrate his success.
Thanks for sharing :) #BTA841 Luka
Evan Carmichael Thanks for your awesome channel! ❤
I went to college in Rockford. This can't be overstated. People don't make it out of Rockford. And on top of that he was a first generation American. Absolute legend and hero.
This is crazy that he died less than 3 hours ago! I hope his legacy lives on and fly high!
🙌 #Believe - Feb
I love that "I thrive off of no". That's a strong statement. #BTA 48

RIP Virgil 💔 Such a talented person
Agree with you. 😊 #Believe - Feb
JUST DO IT! I been wanting to go for fashion and music my whole life. I just gotta do this shit. Nothing else fulfills me. Nothing in school excites me. Now navigating through jobs, they all suck lol. I feel like I’m so far away from what I’m supposed to be doing. But now I’m close to starting and now and it kills me when I’m not doing what I want and expressing myself. I just gotta do it.
We are rooting for your success. 😊 #Believe - Feb

Glad it's helpful to you :) #BTA1147 Luka
This video is very inspiring. Virgil Abloh really inspired a whole generation of creatives. What really resonated with me is “Thrive of a no”. No one can tell you what you can or can’t achieve. If you want to do something, do it. Make it a reality. It’s easy to over think about how to start but just get started. I want to explore my creativity to the maximum and Virgil really gave me the courage to pursue all my dreams. Rest in peace to an absolute legend 🕊
Glad you are feeling inspired. Much love. 😊💛 #Believe - Feb
Sad that he’s gone but I’m so grateful he was aware of his creative genius and wanted to share to the younger generation about how to get to where he go to. Every time I watch one of his lectures or a video like this, it makes me want to do something with my life.
😊💛 #Believe - Feb
Rip to a true legend. You inspired millions. 🖤

🙌 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
I'm going to "Just DO It" always been a problem was starting always thought starting is some type of complicated process when in reality its not. Also to "Thrive Off of No!" Thats the second most important thing to me always let hater and naysayers get in the way of my thinking and goals and my whole mental attitude in general. I'm willing to do this step need to keep learning and growing.
Keep it on! #Believe :) #BTA1010 Luka
