1:38Now PlayingWhen designer Virgil Abloh said he was disgusted by the looting of two Los Angeles luxury shops, the backlash on social media was swift and predictable.
Abloh says the criticism doesn’t bother him. “It motivates me,” he says. “Life is a series of trials and tribulations, and I think how you handle those are what shapes you as a human being. It shows me that there’s room to grow.” He apologized on his Instagram account (and Twitter) and announced the creation of a scholarship fund for Black students that’s focused on career development for those entering the fashion industry.
