Virgil Abloh, the artistic director of Louis Vuitton and founder of Off-White, died Sunday following a private fight with cancer, both companies announced Sunday. Abloh was 41.
"We are all shocked after this terrible news. Virgil was not only a genius designer, a visionary, he was also a man with a beautiful soul and great wisdom. The LVMH family joins me in this moment of great sorrow, and we are all thinking of his loved ones after the passing of their husband, their father, their brother or their friend," said Bernard Arnault, the chief executive officer of LVMH.
Abloh battled cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare, aggressive form of cancer, according to a statement posted to his Instagram account. "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 post read.
Bill Gates may not strike you as an actor, certainly not a comedic one. But he can be a funny guy, as evidenced by his 2018 cameo on "The Big Bang Theory." Even when he was arrested at the age of 21, his mugshot smile makes you think there was a lot more going on in that head than computer calculations. What was the offense? "It was driving from Albuquerque up to Seattle that I got three very serious speeding tickets," he said.
The Trump administration on Saturday imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, while adding an additional 10% levy on goods from China. The salvo, which President Trump had threatened even before returning to power earlier this month, underlines his willingness to use trade policy even against some of the U.S.' largest economic allies.
Dee Warner disappeared on a Sunday morning in the spring, just as the first crops were being planted in the farmland of Lenawee County, Michigan.
