Description
History of the Model: Founded by Virgil Abloh in 2013, the OFF-WHITE brand quickly imposed a unique visual grammar between streetwear, haute couture and artistic references. This bomber jacket is part of a series of so-called “paint splatter” pieces developed around 2018–2019, a pivotal period when the brand increased its nods to contemporary art and conceptual fashion. The “WHITE” lettering, partially covered with digital paint, evokes this desire to blur the codes, between readable and illegible, clothing and work of art. Exterior Details: The jacket has a bomber-style construction with a double-slider metal zip, front flap pockets, elasticated cotton ribbed cuffs and hem. The outer fabric is dense but supple, offering great support while remaining light. The very light pearl gray color, almost white, contrasts subtly with the graphic elements on the back. The white “WHITE” lettering is partially hidden by a multi-colored abstract pattern like paint stains in shades of blue, ocher, green and black, applied by direct printing. Interior Details: The interior is lined with a tone-on-tone synthetic textile, lightly quilted for greater comfort. There is an interior zipped pocket on the right side, discreet but functional. The interior label with black diagonal stripes on a white background is typical of European OFF-WHITE productions. The collar is decorated with the knotted white rope tie, a discreet signature of certain collections of the brand. Product Condition: This bomber jacket is in excellent condition. The exterior has no stains or tears, the ribbing is perfectly preserved, without patina or sagging, and the print on the back is lively, clean, without alteration. The zipper is fluid, and the interior lining is impeccable. Care Instructions: The garment is machine washable according to the original label. However, it is recommended to favor professional cleaning to preserve the intensity of the visual printed on the back, avoid color transfer and guarantee the longevity of the fabric. Store away from humidity and direct light, on a wide hanger, to maintain the structure of the bomber jacket. Why Choose This Product: This OFF-WHITE “Paint Splatter” bomber jacket is a strong piece from the late 2010s, representative of Virgil Abloh’s hybrid style between clothing and graphic work. It embodies an era and a visual language that has become emblematic in the history of luxury streetwear. For lovers of rare pieces or collectors of OFF-WHITE creations, this model constitutes a strong aesthetic testimony, as relevant worn as presented as a decorative object. Although from the men’s collections, its generous cut and light structure also make it an ideal piece to be worn oversized by a woman, in a register that is both assertive and relaxed. Its rarity and the richness of its details make it a unique investment in a wardrobe or a contemporary collection.
