‘Virgil Meant So Much to Me’ – Serena Williams Posts an Emotional Message as She Honors Legendary Designer Virgil Abloh

Venus and Serena Williams have been an inspiration for many. The two sisters overcame all odds to notch up numerous title wins. Moreover, not just on the court, but the Williams sisters have been a revelation off the court too. The two sisters taught us to never give up by displaying tremendous zeal to overcome adversities.

Alongside the fact that they are successful on the court, Serena and Venus have become successful entrepreneurs as well. Both sisters have carved a unique name for themselves on the fashion front. The American duo has huge respect to the works of late fashion designer Virgil Abloh.

While Venus got to pay tribute to him by attending Louis Vitton’s Abloh collection and now it’s the turn of Serena to represent Virgil in her own way. Recently, Serena was at the Paris Fashion Week, where she walked the ramp wearing the designs of her dear friend. Off-white, a luxury brand established by Virgil, presented its Fall collection in Paris.

Further, she posted a picture of her at the Paris Fashion Week on her official Instagram handle. She wrote, “I had an unbelievable time walking in the Off-White show. Virgil meant so much to me, and to walk in a collection that he was still a part of was something I could not miss. Thank you for the opportunity. I am so grateful to show love to my friend.”

Some other stars who accompanied Serena at the show were Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and many more. Virgil Abloh passed away in November last year after fighting a three-year battle with a rare aggressive cancer.

On the tennis front, Serena has been out for more than eight months now, having last played in Wimbledon. She will look to come back later this year after being back to light practice. Can Serena find her old mojo back? Let us know your views in the comments below.
