From his inaugural men’s runway show back in February through to dropping his own 19-piece capsule collection on MATCHESFASHION.COM in October, Virgil Abloh has been one of 2016’s biggest movers in the world of menswear. His label OFF-WHITE is one of fashion’s most sought-after, blending streetwear staples with a high-end aesthetic and his coterie of friends in high places has sent his brand’s cache skywards. The music producer, art director and long-term Kanye collaborator has proven his eye for fashion time and time again this year, culminating in a 2016 fall/winter drop that included distressed leather jackets, camo-print coats, graphic tees, sweatpants, backpacks, caps and footwear options. On top of this, Abloh’s list of collaborations continued with an 11-piece collection for Levi’s Made & Crafted that reaffirmed his desire to evolve. Having achieved so much throughout 2016, next year has a lot to live up to.
