A return to minimalism, a call to balance the Spring Summer 2022 collection by Off-White entitled “Sticks and Stones”.
The eclectic designer Virgil Abloh, who died prematurely on November 28th, always a restless spirit, free from labels and constraints, wanted to send a clear message with this collection: “ I feel the world has changed profoundly “.
he felt the need to take a step back to the time when he was studying architecture and everything was simple, essential and linear: a reference to geometric design, clean lines, compositions and volumes that express a cultural and social identity.
Tailored garments with large circular rings embroidered on pockets, inspired by Meccano, the model construction system designed by the English inventor Frank Hornby, so loved by Abloh during his architectural studies .
The circles like meteors digging holes in the garments of the collection which appears more mature and aware. Lightweight and minimal constructions introduce a new stylistic language in terms of layering and cuts, a new purity, a new code!
