✎ In this video, Evan Carmichael dives into the top ten rules for success from Virgil Abloh, a creative powerhouse who transitioned from architecture to fashion, collaborated with Kanye West, and became the artistic director for Louis Vuitton’s men's line. The video highlights how Virgil started as an average suburban kid, skateboarding and listening to Nirvana, and evolved into a leading figure in the fashion industry. 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. He shares how he didn't fit into traditional roles and instead created his unique niche by blending streetwear with high fashion. The video explains Virgil’s approach to creativity, his disdain for perfectionism, and the importance of mentors in shaping his vision. By being critical and continuously refining his work, Virgil established a new vocabulary in fashion that resonates globally.
The video also touches on Virgil's belief in defining the world and thinking ahead. 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. Watch the bonus clips to learn more about hustling, connecting the dots, and practicing genre-less thinking from Virgil Abloh himself.

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.

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 🕊

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.
