He added that it was vital to the group that a feeling of authenticity was kept up with so the crowds could detect the planning of the scenes.


Cudi talked explicitly about how Abloh was a significant motivation behind his personal style decisions. He added that Abloh’s mark in the fashion business extended past runways.
