History of OFF-WHITE From Pyrex Vision to OFF- WHITE, Virgil Abloh is a main stayer on the mod- ern day streetwear scene. Diagonal zebra striped hoodies and yellow warn- ing tape belts…ring any bells? Whether or not you are keen to keep an eye on OFF-WHITE, it is difficult for you to overlook the sa- lience of the high fashion x streetwear hybrid brand. The history of OFF-WHITE started with a ‘vision from Virgil’, and soon went onto become a brand on ev- eryone’s lips. Founded by American wunderkind Vir- gil Abloh, since 2013, the Milan-based label has opened showrooms in 15 locations around the world and retained a star-studded line-up of customers. With a masters degree in architecture, who would have thought Abloh’s sharp turn to designing premium streetwear could bring in such success? Under the garments, the multi-hyphenate’s unique vision has always been the key. page 8
