Read the story behind the shots by Jay Seba

Whilst running around and snapping the whirlwind of colour and excitement that was the late Virgil Abloh’s last Louis Vuitton show, I came across the legendary Yasiin Bey, also know as Mos Def,

During this time, he was wandering around playing his thumb piano and chanting. I quickly snapped a polaroid as he continued his travelling performance around the space.

Shortly after however, I found myself shoulder to shoulder to him as he spoke to UK musician Bakar. BK himself, aware that he was in the presence of a musical legend, asked me to take a picture of them both.

Later on at the end of the 2nd show, Myself and my team filmed Tyler the Creator and Yasiin embracing over the Joy and Grief that the end of this show brought them both, having been close to Virgil. The last glimpse I got of Yasiin was him sauntering off backstage, thumb piano in hand, jacket swishing, I assume to get changed and head out in to the night.
