Virgil Abloh's iconic streetwear label OFF-WHITE joined forces with Browns to drop an exclusive capsule collection for the Spring/Summer 2018 season. The collaborative project is comprised of 21 pieces in total, with offerings for both men and women. Abloh explains that the collection boasts a blend of street and chic aesthetics coming together through one expression. In addition to that concept, the range also has the vibes of OFF-WHITE embedded within it.
Some of the streetwear label's most iconic pieces are reimagined for this project in a series of new cuts and colors, as well as a special fastening. There are hand-drawn floral patterns adorning pajama sets, and militaristic hues adorning jackets and flap bags. Following the launch of the OFF-WHITE x Browns collection in stores, it will also be online beginning May 11th.
