People have voiced out their own speculations. Some have rumoured Abloh's long-time collaborator and friend, Kanye 'Ye' West, will take his place while others are rooting for artists like Grace Wales Bonner, Jonathan Anderson, and more.

But Burke's statement has somehow cleared the air. "It needs to be given the right amount of time. It cannot be done under pressure. . .This is not a house that relies on one singular individual. Louis Vuitton is too big for any singular individual," said Burke.

The CEO also added that there are no limitations to becoming a potential candidate. There is an exception, however, when it comes to the craft.

The fashion brand sought the same unparalleled dedication that the previous artistic director exuded. He explained, "You have to have an appreciation of craft, you have to have an appreciation of materials, you have to have an appreciation of image and graphics, beyond, of course, products. You have to have an appreciation of the client. Virgil was always in the stores."

"Virgil was not only a genius designer, a visionary, he was also a man with a beautiful soul and great wisdom," said Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

Louis Vuitton may take all the time they need to find a new successor. Nevertheless, Abloh will remain an inspiration to many.
