Virgil Abloh’s Off-White Launches ‘Simpsons’ Collection
Written by SOURCE on January 31, 2019
Fresh off his Paris Fashion Week show as Louis Vuitton‘s artistic director of men’s wear, Virgil Abloh has unveiled a Simpsons collab collection for his own Off-White label.
The collection starts at $350 and includes three T-shirt variants boasting Bart Simpson philosophy and a depiction of the beloved sitcom family’s home, as well as a fire-assisted black knit. Sample some product shots of the Simpsons x Off-White collection below. For more, including additional shots and purchasing info, head over to Mr Porter.
The Off-White collection is well-timed. This December, Matt Groening’s animated sitcom (though its characters have even older origins by way of The Tracey Ullman Show) will officially turn 30. In an interview with USA Today ahead of the 30th season’s kickoff back in April, Groening spoke on just how unlikely such a scenario seemed when the series first began in the early days of Fox.
“When we started, we didn’t even know if the Fox network was going to last, much less our own show,” he said. “Fox was an experiment, and they allowed us to do pretty much whatever we wanted.”
Abloh, meanwhile, has already had a extremely prolific 2019 complete with Louis Vuitton firsts, jewelry line teases, another Mr Porter collab, and more. Earlier this month, Abloh was asked by Complex’s Karizza Sanchez and Gerald Flores about a certain iconic PFW photo that recently turned 10. The Tommy Ton classic, he explained, showed that “what may seemingly be impossible is possible.”
