The Brooklyn Museum and Off-White™ Launch “Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech”-Inspired Collection

The smoking jackets are made in Italy, and arrive in either a stark black or a striking checkered pattern. Each is covered in outsize text and diagrams that nod to the exhibition’s artworks and items, while hoodies and tees feature spray-effect iterations of Off-White™’s famous “arrow” graphic. A quartet of bags is present as well. There’s one tote-size bag and three handbags that repurpose signature Off-White™ motifs like lines and checkers, including one that displays Virgil Abloh’s architectural drawing of SOCIAL SCULPTURE, a giant wooden structure that’s one of the exhibit’s main highlights. Last but not least is a tabletop flip clock that nods to the inspirations behind the collection, and a full-size print of Abloh’s aforementioned drawing.
