It's confirmed! Buzzed streetwear label Off-White is opening its first store in Bangkok this September at Siam Paragon. The store will be, according to the mall's PR, ironically located next to Louis Vuitton, for which Off-White founder Virgil Abloh is heading the designing team for menswear.
Off-White is a Milan-based fashion house, founded by Ghanaian-American fashion designer Virgil Abloh in 2012. The brand is best known for its edgy streetwear items and exciting collaborations with global brands like Nike, Converse, Ikea, and, most recently, Rimowa.
Since March this year, the 37-year-old Abloh has also been appointed as the creative director for menswear at Louis Vuitton, where he replaced Kim Jones who left for Dior. Recently dropped in Paris, his first collection with Louis Vuitton has been praised by the press and fans for injecting new cool into the French fashion house.
The Bangkok store, scheduled to open in September, will be the latest opening of the brand. Stay tuned for more updates.
