Virgil Abloh Unveils Off-White™ Collaboration With Andrew Walker

Off-White™ creative director and founder Virgil Abloh has released the official collaboration capsule collection with designer Andre Walker. The partnership comes as a part of the Off-White™ Foundations program, where Abloh invites guest creatives to co-develop new collections and ideas.


Off-White™ c/o Andre Walker is a versatile and all-seasonal capsule collaboration that features two t-shirts and sweatshirts, a suspender bag, and a pair of track pants. Adding dimensionality to the collection are elongated fabric panels, built-in belts on t-shirts and circular zipper tabs. The versatility comes from the apparel items’ ability to be dressed up or down. The collection has a minimalistic flair, maintaining a predominantly classic black and white colorway.


The key graphics is a vibrant watercolor airplane, which appeared to be screen printed on various pieces of the collection. The abstract motif showcases a jet flying through clouds in a sunset-tangerine hue. The letters “OOSOOM” are overlaid across the plane, but Abloh and Walker have left the acronym up for interpretation. The aircraft itself represents bringing consumers along on the collaborative creative journey.


The suspender bag, made of leather and woolen cloth, is inspired by bike messengers in mind. The bag features the same airplane logo along with broad suspender straps. The unique accessory clearly displays both Abloh and Walker’s design visions.


The Off-White™ c/o Andre Walker is now available in select Off-White™ stores globally and online at Off-White™.
