Off-White opened Paris Fashion Week by presenting Virgil Abloh’s final collections: Autumn/Winter 2022 and the late designer’s interpretation of haute couture. The show, dubbed Spaceship Earth – An Imaginary Experience, saw Virgil Abloh’s signature streetwear silhouettes including oversized caps, puffer coats, varsity jackets, graphic tees and structured outerwear. Sequinned partywear, frothy tulle gowns and skiwear complete the Autumn/Winter 2022 collection.

The Off-White high fashion collection – not explicitly referred to as haute couture but consisting of couture-standard garments – was separated into characters including “The Fangirl”, “The Carrie B.” and “The Bride”. Bella Hadid showcased the latter in a leg-baring wedding dress designed to replicate a bride holding up her gown to dance.

Simultaneously sombre and celebratory, friends of Virgil walked alongside models to present the collection; Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell, Karlie Kloss, Kaia Gerber, Serena Williams, Bella Hadid and Cindy Crawford were all in attendance.

Off-White Autumn/Winter 2022 comes one month after the late designers’ final menswear collection for Louis Vuitton was unveiled. See some of our favourite looks above. Rewatch the show
