His story is legend by now: he worked with Kanye, started Off-White, and ascended to Louis Vuitton. So how did he get here? How did he create a personal brand so valuable that the world’s number one luxury house was willing to bet their future on his direction? How did Virgil steal Kanye’s dream job?
