Off-White Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
Off-White is a company launched by an American, based in Milan, with fashion shows in Paris. Its home-is-everywhere-and-nowhere aspect was befitting of its founder, the late Virgil Abloh, who was famously one of the industry’s most peripatetic people. And it’s what enabled his hand-picked successor Ib Kamara to bring the label to New York Fashion Week for a stateside runway show this season, unbelievably the brand’s first-ever.
“It feels like coming home for Off-White and for me as well,” said Kamara backstage. Kamara, too, is in constant motion for his work; he’s also a busy stylist. The collection’s spark came from a trip he took to Ghana, the country from which Abloh’s parents emigrated. “I just loved it, so I started the collection there,” Kamara said, “going to the market, gathering fabrics, working with local artisans, really gathering a lot of feeling from it.
Emphasis on sexy when it came to the women’s pieces. They were based on the building blocks of athletic wear, leotards and leggings, the former souped-up with v-necklines that plunged to below the navel, and the latter split at the hem over spiked sandals. Shrunken track jackets and wispy skirts formed the other major silhouette; they were accessorized with a second track jacket tied around the waist to give the look a more low-key vibe.
Kamara has a more natural feel for the men’s side, and his main idea for the guys was adding a zippered panel to the hems of vests and jackets, as well as to the front of trousers. He came out for his bow in a pair of jeans with the treatment, the unzipped panels looking like utility pockets with room for the backstage tools of the trade. There was also a letterman jacket with logo patches and a hoodie featuring the artwork of the Ghanaian artist Nana Danso.
We were at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 2, home to basketball and handball courts, a skating rink, and an epic view of the Manhattan skyscrapers across the East River. The front row was just as glittering, with Flavor Flav, Zayn Malik, Mary J Blige, and Camila Cabello among the VIPs. The tennis player Francis Tiafoe, who sat front row and shares a Sierra Leonean background with Kamara, weighed in with a review: he wants everything.
