The Pre-Fall 2019 collection by OFF-WHITE dropped and the garments are associated with an expressively deconstructed fashion aesthetic — a style that has definitely been in the spotlight as designers begin to celebrate the unconventional, the unfinished and the experimental. The capsule is dubbed 'Incompiuto Pt. 1' which is a direct reference to the work by Alterazioni Video — an artist collective that has been active since 2004.
The deconstructed fashion silhouettes are informed by the poetic beauty of unfinished architecture. The pieces are incredibly eclectic when it comes to material use and pattern mixing. As OFF-WHITE drew inspiration from "10 years of research [...] of unfinished public works in Italy," the Pre-Fall 2019 creates its own category of deconstructed fashion, similar to how Alterazioni Video framed the incomplete architectural remnants.
