Gigi Hadid is one of many who is remembering the late Virgil Abloh on his special day.
The model, who is currently overseas for Paris Fashion Week, paid tribute to the designer to commemorate what would have been his 42nd birthday.
"Happy Birthday V," she captioned a carousel of pics of herself and Virgil together on Instagram Sept. 30. "I miss you every day ! We celebrate you tonight in Paris, and always. Passion fruit martinis comin right up !"
And Gigi wasn't the only one to send the late Off-White founder birthday wishes. Others, including Bella Hadid, paid tribute on social media.
"Happy birthday my dear Libra Brother," the model wrote on Instagram, alongside a carousel of photos with Virgil. "Nothing has been or will ever be the same. ( all pics by our @chilldays ….. never without his camera documenting the love that V gave and received … Thank u Bogs…)."
Virgil's close friend Kid Cudi shared he was dedicating Entergalactic, his new Netflix special and accompanying album, to the late designer. "Its Virgil Abloh's Birthday today," he tweeted. "I miss my brother so so much. Entergalactic is for you big bro. We did it Virg. We did it. Happy Birthday V."
On Nov. 28, 2021, Virgil's family announced that he passed away at the age of 41, after battling cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare cancerous tumor in the heart.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Virgil's family said that 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."
