5 things to know about Off-White’s moon-themed AW23 show:
Last season, Ibrahim Kamara presented his first Off-White show as art and image director of Off-White. Working as a stylist on the LVMH-owned brand founded by Virgil Abloh prior to his death in November 2021, he was immersed in the designer’s mind and philosophies. One of them was Afrofuturism, a 1970s phenomenon born out of the civil rights movement and Space Age dreams of the 1960s.
“Where human feet have never trod, where human eyes have never seen, I’ll build a world of abstract dreams, and wait for you,” Sun Ra sang in 1979.Inspired by a recent trip to Sierra Leone, Kamara mirrored the elements of his homeland in the imagined space travel at the centre of Afrofuturism. “It informed a lot of the fabrication: the metal, the construction. There’s a lot of hybrid ideas of protecting yourself when you’re on the moon: a lot of metal,” he explained.
