Robert Marick, Executive Vice President Global Consumer Products and Experiences, at MGM said, “Off White™ is one of the most influential fashion labels on the market right now and is universally recognized for its unexpected and fresh designs. We knew they would have an artful take on Blue Velvet and are thrilled with the line they’ve created, which really captures this amazing film in an authentic and unique way.”
“Blue Velvet” is a 1986 American neo-noir mystery film written and directed by David Lynch. Widely considered a cult classic, the film stars Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper, and Laura Dern, and is named after Bobby Vinton’s 1963 song. Off-White™ captures this through classic tees, sweatshirts and denim jeans, tops and dress –each piece featuring imagery from the film. The capsule also features Off-White‘s classic “Curtain Blazer Jacket”, “Formal Pant” and halter mini dress reconstructed with a shot from the film in a bold, gradient print. Off-White’s Autumn Winter 2020 Womenswear Collection also embraces the essence of “Blue Velvet”. Structured, off-the-shoulder dress in the fabric the movie is named for, alongside with mirror-ball metallic garments that channel Dorothy Vallens’s glitzier ensembles, walked the runway during Paris Fashion Week in February.
“This capsule embraces the glamour and mysterious essence of “Blue Velvet” through the world of Off-White™. It was a special experience creating the capsule and translating this timeless film through luxurious, wearable memorabilia.” says Virgil Abloh.
In this brand-new collection, Off-White’s sophisticated modernity meets the timeless sixties glamour of “Blue Velvet” – creating an iconic capsule embracing both worlds harmoniously.
