You're so right, the fashion industry has a notoriously short term memory and sometimes isn't very honest about things done and said. I'll be honest, I didn't always get it. As a matter of fact, I wrote that in a post about his shocking passing. But even though I didn't get it, didn't mean I never thought for a second that his contributions weren't important. That seems to be what people constantly don't get. Just because you might not understand it or maybe it's just not for you ... doesn't mean it doesn't lack in importance. Sometimes it's you that's just not seeing it (I always weigh this thought because sometimes we're just late to the party). I was always happy to see Abloh making moves in the world even if I will NEVER wear the cool kid sneakers. I often think that some of his more negative reviews came from his connection to West who definitely became more of a contentious character in recent years. And that's a bummer too.
Great read thank you
