Off-White is a new form of luxury brand. High-quality products with a contemporary cultural edge. Autonomy, progress, innovation, diversity. Architect and structural engineer Virgil Abloh and the Off-White team have taken the notion and development of a fashion brand to a new level altogether. Within NGG, Off White is motivated by the joy of sharing experiments and discoveries. Digital is not a media nor a component; it is part of the DNA, and the way to function. In Virgil's work, construction and deconstruction go hand in hand, recombining the codes of fashion, design, communication, art and technology. These are seen as essential parts, fundamental rights, of our lives.
