Structure versus flux: Off-White’s resort collection could well function as a metaphor for the uncertainty gripping the world as the coronavirus upends our daily habits. Virgil Abloh named the line “Bohemian Blur,” in reference to the watery print that was a central theme.
“The visual represents movement, strength, flow-through and abstraction; the world’s ‘new normal’ is not yet defined,” the collection notes stated. “In order to face what will come, to progress as a society, and to evolve for the greater good, fluidity — even if imperfect — is necessary.”
The print, in pink-and-black or monochrome versions, appeared on asymmetric dresses and tops, pleated skirts and structured blazers alike. Abloh is fond of a sharp shoulder, and this season, they were ramrod straight on coats, dress shirts and even a safari jacket.
The mix of strong tailoring with casual staples — leather biker jackets, puffer coats and track pants with cargo pockets on the knees — made for a clean silhouette that seemed tailor-made for these ambiguous times. Abloh dubbed it “wardrobe simplification.”
“In a moment when much is uncertain, fundamental elements are key,” his statement read. It’s safe to say this highly commercial lineup won’t rock the boat.
![Bye-bye runs. @Sheertex “unbreakable” tights are made of the same polymers used in bulletproof vests and climbing equipment. Katherine Homuth, whose background is in technology, founded Sheertex because of a hole she found in the market: rip-proof stocking. “How do we have self-driving cars, or space travel, but there’s not a pair of pantyhose that can make it more than one or two wears?” said Homuth, who acts as chief executive officer of the company. “It just didn’t make sense to me how something so seemingly simple was not solved.” “They’re literally unbreakable in human hands,” continued Homuth, who founded Sheertex in early 2017. In fact, every order of the pantyhose comes with a break-proof test kit. “So customers can kind of go crazy experiencing the strength [of the material] and testing its limits before they wear their pair,” Homuth told WWD.
