Off-White's Fall Collection Takes a Relaxed Professional Approach
Virgil Abloh's brand is often influenced by the aesthetics of modern-day streetwear, but Off-White's Fall collection takes a different approach. Entitled 'Business Casual,' this year's Fall collection focuses more on a path of suit silhouettes and structured pieces. The designer has previously stated that he aims to be much more than an icon of "hype" and broaden his fashion success. The creation of this year's Off-White Fall collection seems to be an action towards that statement.
One of the standout pieces includes a double-breasted suit that is designed with graphic details with gray undertones. Other garments that broadens the designer's original territory are the pinstripe trousers and the maroon leather suit. Not completely segregated from the streetwear style, Abloh's collection will still feature a blend of track suits, cargo bottoms, sports jackets and t-shirts.
