Virgil Abloh, the genius designer who led Louis Vuitton menswear and Off White last year, shocked the entire fashion world by dying of cancer. The demise of a generation of designers has made many people feel very disappointed, and with it is the remembrance of him, such as Off White's "The Ten" series with Nike, Louis Vuitton x Nike's Air Force 1, etc., which have been hyped up to sky-high prices. Off White, founded by Virgil Abloh, announced that it has founded a new successor, that is, Ibrahim Kamara, editor-in-chief of Dazed!
Since the death of Virgil Abloh, Off White has not announced a new art and graphic director, and the highly anticipated candidate has finally been released, that is, Ibrahim Kamara! Born in the Republic of Sierra Leone, Ibrahim Kamara, 32, moved to London following the outbreak of civil war and became a student at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, a fashion school, majoring in fashion communication. He has worked for the fashion magazine i-D, worked for well-known fashion outlets such as W, British Vogue, Vogue Italia, etc., and is now the editor-in-chief of the magazine Dazed.
Why did Off White choose this young fashion media personality as Art & Graphics Director, in charge of leading the brand's art and design direction? In fact, Ibrahim Kamara and Virgil Abloh worked together before they died, and they served as image directors for Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter 2022 and Spring/Summer collections and Off White's Fall/Winter 2022 collection, so they know the brand's style very well. What do you think of Ibrahim Kamara as off White's art and image director?
