The Off-White designer's big debut for the French leather goods juggernaut is finally here.

Virgil Abloh's appointment as director of menswear at Louis Vuitton back in March was the latest addition to the multi hyphenate's long list of gigs—but by far the biggest. The designer/DJ/collaborator/do-it-all has been given the reigns of one-half of a multi-billion dollar fashion brand and the chance to prove himself as more than just the pied piper of streetwear.

Kid Cudi, Kanye, Kim, Kylie, Travis Scott all came out to Paris to support the designer. As Ye's “Ghost Town” started to play at the end of the show, Virgil walked straight to Kanye. Both shared a long emotional hug.

There's been so much speculation about what an Abloh-helmed Vuitton will look like but today's the day we finally got to see it. Watch the show here!

Virgil Abloh's luxury Italian streetwear label Off-White has been named the “hottest fashion brand in the world”.

Over the past year, the brand has gone from strength-to-strength, thanks, in part, to highly-publicized collaborations with Ikea and Nike and Abloh’s appointment as artistic director of household name-brand Louis Vuitton.

Off-White topped a quarterly index compiled by Lyst, a global fashion search platform, by examining Google search data, sales, and social media mentions. Lyst singled out the company as the number one brand among fashion fans today, surpassing established names such as Gucci and Balenciaga.

Abloh's label is a big hit with global celebrities and has been worn by model Bella Hadid, and singers Rihanna and Beyoncé.

Motorola is in hot water: smartphone P30 bears a strong resemblance to Iphone X

There is a new Android phone on the market – the Motorola P30, which would cost you roughly $350. People, however, might easily mistake it for a device that costs three times as much: the $1,000 Apple iPhone X, which was launched last fall.

Photos of the new smartphone were official released on Thursday, and not only do the phones share a lot of design details — a vertical camera, a “notch” on the front of the screen — the promotional images look pretty much the same.

Tech fans and enthusiasts did not waste time and immediately criticized the Levovo-owned phonemaker for copying Apple's design.
