Virgil passed away on November 28, 2021 at the age of 41 following his secret battle with cancer. A post on Louis Vuitton's former artistic director's Instagram page confirmed the sad news, explaining he had been battling a rare, aggressive form of cancer for more than two years.
"He chose to endure his battle privately since his diagnosis in 2019, undergoing numerous challenging treatments, all while helming several significant institutions that span fashion, art, and culture," the statement read. "Through it all, his work ethic, infinite curiosity, and optimism never wavered. Virgil was driven by his dedication to his craft and to his mission to open doors for others and create pathways for greater equality in art and design."
