With his feet in two worlds of fashion, Virgil Abloh has a lot on his plate. The designer and creative director recently dropped an Off-White Fall/Winter 2015 womenswear collection inspired by the '60s and post-Charlie Hebdo activism, a Fall/Winter 2015 menswear collection, and he also opened a flagship store in Hong Kong. Somewhere in the middle of his projects, Abloh found the time to collaborate with e-commerce site Ssense on a capsule collection that is set to drop online tomorrow.
According to Style.com, the line is titled "Before and After" and also features a video collaboration with photographer Pierre Debusschere, whom Abloh calls "a true meeting of the minds," adding that he considers Debusschere "one of the most young, brilliant creatives capturing emotion into imagery today."
Pieces in the capsule collection will fall within the $295 to $1,300 range, and instead of dividing the collection into menswear and womenswear, the clothing will be unisex. "I find something extremely powerful in my generation’s women wearing men’s clothing," said Abloh. "It’s a sign of the times that I want to underline and the gray area in between my men’s and women’s presentations."
Not much is revealed about the collection beyond what we can see in the teaser video above (sweatshirts, pants, bags, etc.), so we will all have to wait for the collaboration to premiere exclusively on Ssense tomorrow, April 29, at 10 a.m.
