Featured in the collection are 8 frame styles all seemingly inspired by fashion trends of the past. With the new styles entitled the “Marfa”, “Alps”, “Manchester” and “The Cape”, the full collection also features previous Off-White silhouettes from earlier seasons such as the the “Virgil”, “Arthur”, “Tropez” and “Cady”. With nods to ’80s and ’90s fashion featured throughout, these shades are guaranteed to add some timeless style to your summer fits.
When talking about his decision to create a collection of genderless pieces, Off-White’s Virgil Abloh explained “I don’t believe in gender, only design”. alongside the collection, Abloh also enlisted the help of Helena Christensen, Justine Biticon and Lil Dre to model the pieces as they “represent different world views and perspectives” and fit the bill for this forward-thinking campaign.
