Designer, Womenswear

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.

BIGLI

Our office in Via Bigli is the heartbeat of Off White where Virgil's creative and inspirational input is seen throughout the space. Bigli is the community of the Off White Style, Graphic, Marketing and Product teams and is inclusive and inspiring as per definition of the brand Off White.
