The palette of Off-White in Fall/Winter 22/23 is dazzling and diversified, present a carnival vibe and the clashing of dimensions. Blue-purple tones foresee the future and give a second life to the past fashion trends. Yellow and pink bring a festive, joyous mood. We ride the ‘Spaceship Earth’, as it was called, to explore a fantastic journey in the space. This show included not just Off-White’s fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection, but also a new high fashion line (haute couture without the haute couture appellation) designed by Virgil and completed by the creative teams and collaborators with whom he worked.

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.
