Off-White Resort 2021 Collection Sartorial style according to Virgil Abloh
I thought of this muse, sort of half businessman, half youthful teenager—and how they can crash together. I look at Off-White as my diary. It’s a clothing brand that is periodically checking in on what we’re learning and trying to put that in the collection.
Virgil Abloh said, revealing the inspiration behind Off-White's Resort 2021 collection. The designer leaves streetwear aside to explore sartorial fashion and presents a series of garments that combine elegance and social commitment. Military-style coats and formal suits with clean lines combine with ripped jeans on which the seams stand out; pants are either ultra-fit or loose, broken at the calf to provide freedom of movement and comfort; the silhouette of blazers is focused on the shoulders. The formal style of the collection is interrupted by a vein of nonconformity, of rebellion that is evident not only in the unconventional poses of the models but also in the details. On hoodies, t-shirts and gloves appear messages and illustrations that tell Abloh's commitment and position on environment and inclusiveness such as I Support Young Black Businesses or What Stars Are You Under? but also designs of monsters or the suffering world.
