Off-White’s designer, Ibe Kamara, who took over shortly after Virgil’s passing, opened up about the significance of presenting the brand in New York. Speaking to The New York Times, Ibe shared, the star-studded presentation was intentional.
“For me, this is the brand coming home. It’s something that V [Virgil] wanted to do for a long time. He talked about it. We’ve been trying to bring it to the U.S. for the past two years. A year ago, I designed a whole collection that got dropped because we had to postpone the show. I think it’s important to bring the brand closer to the American market, the American point of view, because ultimately it is an American brand.”
Ibe also explained to press that a trip to Ghana influenced the new Spring-Summer 2025 collection (Virgil’s birthplace).
Drawing parallels between his own upbringing in Sierra Leone and Virgil’s heritage, Ibe explained to Hypebeast, “I have vivid memories of what America, and New York in particular, represented in the collective imagination of Africans: a dreamland of Utopia made real, a place of opportunities.”
The collection, titled “DUTY FREE,” is Ib’s style expression of what New York, America, and opportunity to everyone can be. The runway featured over 40 looks, with many adorned with the number “00,” giving team and jersey vibes.
Making the basketball court their runway, models strutted in some of the swankiest athleisure looks seen to date. The collection’s color palette featured bold reds, soft creams, cool navy blues, and sophisticated greens. For menswear, Off-White showcased sleeveless hoodies, varsity jackets, and screen-printed tops.
The womenswear collection was equally a vibe with sporty dresses, miniskirts, and jackets featuring sequins, feathers, corsets, and playful detailing.
With its bold collection, deep cultural influences, and a host of celebrity supporters, Off-White’s New York Fashion Week debut was nothing short of historic. Keep scrolling to see all the stunning celebrity moments from this unforgettable night.
