Thinking about jetting off on a weekend away to catch what might be left of the summer sun? Or do you just need a really good excuse to get a new suitcase? Well we might be able to help you out. The suitcase company of dreams, Rimowa and Mr. Abloh’s very own Off-White have joined forces again. The product of the brands’ second collaboration – a limited-edition suitcase collection that we don’t simply just want but we’re pretty sure we need.
The collection will launch at Hypebeast’s much hyped inaugural Hypefest across the pond in Brooklyn this weekend. Working with New York-based creative agency Something Special Studios Virgil has designed a booth at the cultural festival specially for the occasion. Virgil himself has meticulously curated, or in simpler terms, “packed” a number of suitcases for the presentation for the “SEE THROUGH” exhibition of transparent suitcases with black and white accents. Taking the ultra-ordinary and transforming it into something super extraordinary is the very DNA of Off-White. With collabs and capsule collections popping up everywhere, Virgil has never shied away from doing what has never been done or seen before and we’re sure that this new venture will be one of wanderlusting Hypebeasts’ fantasies.
Hypefest will be taking place October 6th-7th 2018 in Brooklyn, NY. The Off- White and Rimowa capsule collection launches in selected stores and online and from October 12th.
