Virgil Abloh was fashion’s most frequent flyer, a multi-hyphenate creative director, DJ, architect, serial collaborator, and amplifier for the voices of the Black community. The man was not earthbound. So it makes a sort of sense that since his sudden passing last November we’ve been visited by a drone kite and runway angels. A ride on “Spaceship Earth,” as it was called. Among the passengers: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Idris and Sabrina Elba, Pharrell Williams and his family, the CEOs of Louis Vuitton and New Guards Group, and a who’s who of designers including Jonathan Anderson, Olivier Rousteing, Matthew Williams, Guram Gvasalia, and Jerry Lorenzo.

Founded in 2013, Off-White takes the area between black and white -- gray as a new color. Inspired by the history and handicraft of Milan, the label provides a global vision for the design trend. The creative director and designer Virgil Abloh combines real dress with the artistic expression of haute couture to explore the individualized concept of youth culture under the contemporary context. Bright orange color is added into the prints of A/W 2021 collection. Maintaining the process of hollow-out, there is a sense of coziness in the ready-to-wear looks. The decoration of bright colors is sill the matching principle of Off-White.

The first kids' collection of Off-White provides selections for boys and girls aged from 4 to 12. Inspired by the hippie culture, distinct colors, graffiti, plaids and camouflage exude a childlike innocent vibe from the kids' perspective. Signature Off-White labels are complemented with "KIDS" to accentuate the identity.

Off-White Resort 2021 collection is finished in the studio. The dancer Cartier Williams opened the fall 2020 Off-White men's show wearing a T-shirt printed with the words "I support young black businesses". Virgil Abloh stamps the phrase on a pair of gloves in the Resort 2021 collection. He recently announces that Virgil Abloh's Post-Modern Scholarship Fund will be used to support students of academic promise of Black, African American or African descent. "To me," he says, "that's just as, if not more important than dropping new clothes. The role of the designer these days should be and is different." Off-White Resort 2021 collection emphasizes fashionable cutting and color-blocking, and mixes street fashion with high-end ready-to-wear, making a strong visual impact.

This season Off-White teams up with Arc'teryx to put on a womenswear show with a theme of "Slighty Off", creating a collection that blends luxury and sports. The collaboration of Off-white with Arc'teryx breaks the stereotype that the outdoor clothing only focuses on functionality but has no distinctive appearance, and the impression that high fashion is dominated by suits, dresses and high heels.

Virgil Abloh mentioned that the inspiration of the A/W 2019 collection of Off-White came from Derby car racing. So you can see the color-spliced cotton-filled racer jacket and jumpsuit evolved from one-piece racing suits. The sweatshirt with its logo on is complete with racing gloves. The racing flag is changed into checker for the catwalk setting, and also shown on models. At last, Bella Hadid walked in the grey and yellow checker cape and shorts.
