Off-White fashion show: resistance in orbit
Ibrahim Kamara unveils a collection for Off-White in which clothing becomes an armor of resistance, oscillating between futurism and social commitment.
Off-White presented its fall-winter 2025-2026 collection at theEspace Niemeyer in Paris, with a show entitled State of Resistance. In an immersive setting evoking a galaxy, Ib Kamara invited us to reflect on resistance, defined as a way of embracing humanity in all its complexity.
An aesthetic between science fiction and militarism
From the very first silhouettes, the tone is set: structured cuts, Neoprene-like technical fabrics, strategically placed elements on the shoulders and hips, and a sober color palette evoking spatial austerity. Accessories, like the futuristic jewelry hanging from the ears, reinforce this vision of an imminent transhumanism, while the classic tie reminds us of the human anchoring of the message.
The wardrobe is made up of references to power and struggle: ex-servicemen in khaki berets, aviators in varsity jackets, sherpas in technical down jackets, law enforcement officers with ties held in place by straps, and amazons in spiral armor. Each silhouette becomes the symbol of a struggle, be it political, social or domestic.
A call to community and self-assertion at Off-White
This first show since Off-White’s separation from LVMH marked a turning point for the brand, which asserted its independence with force. On the catwalk, iconic figures such as Malick Bodian, Yasmin Wijnaldum and rapper Burna Boy embodied this assertive stance.
Playing on the contrasts between protection and vulnerability, tradition and modernity, humanity and technology, Ib Kamara places Off-White in a dynamic where clothing becomes a manifesto of existence and resistance.
