OFF-WHITE F/W 2015

Here’s hoping for some winter chill. At least, according to Off-White’s Virgil Abloh whose new collection is characterized by beefy plaids, boiled wools, patchwork blanket coats sourced from Arpin, a centuries-old French fabric mill, thick T-shirts and sturdy high-tech outerwear, most often decorated with edgy illustrations by New York-based artist Othelo Gervacio. While the overall mood is mountain-ready, Abloh layered the sturdiness with a savvy ath-leisure hand that is hard to obtain.
