Off-White
Off-White is a fashion house founded by Virgil Abloh in 2012, translating his dialogue between streetwear, architecture, art and luxury into ready-to-wear, footwear and accessories. Ibrahim 'Ib' Kamara joined as image and art director in 2022 following Abloh's death, shaping collections and the house's visual language without replacing the historical founder relationship. LVMH sold Off-White LLC, the company owning the trademark, to Bluestar Alliance in a transaction announced on 30 September 2024. The house is now privately owned; acquisition terms, licensee performance, collaboration-partner sales and former LVMH consolidated results are not represented as standalone Off-White revenue.
