OFF-WHITE™ DELIVERS PAINT-SPLATTERED WORK PANTS FOR FW19

Though they didn’t hit the Fall/Winter 2019 runway, Off-White™‘s recent graffiti-covered goodsrecently began rolling out to stockists around the globe. The most recent drop includes a pair of paint-splattered work pants, an item indicative of the brand’s playful approach to undermining workwear staples. Unlike Off-White™’s recent Futura collaboration, the jeans sport random paint splatters as opposed to Futura’s intentional scrawl, with a more expansive color palette granting the white jeans a touch of wanton playfulness, along with various black splashes for contrast. The pants are cut with a straight leg fit to achieve the effortlessly slouchy styling often courted by designer Virgil Abloh, complete with distressing down the outseam and hems for extra texture. A long, branded shoelace belt allows for an adjustable fit. Grab a pair of Off-White™’s seasonal jeans on Moda Operandi’s site for $855 USD.

The cover features a vintage image of a soldier out in the field, with typography on his helmet highlighted. The image uses “Supreme is love.” in place of “Meat is Murder” in the text found previously on The Smiths cover, which originally stated “Make Love Not War” in the Antonio documentary.
