Watch Virgil Abloh Put the Finishing Touches on his Track-and-Field-Inspired Off-White Collection

(calm music)

Name s Virgil Abloh, we re pretty much in the center

of Paris right now.

So for this collection, called Track and Field,

I was interested in crashing together

active performance apparel, and as well, fashion fashion.

For me, it s sort of reflective of my design ethos

about making runway shows mimic

what s happening in real life.

Just before I started this collection,

I had finished designing Serena Williams outfit

for the US Open.

Because the theme is so heavily rooted

in the idea of like, athleticism and fashion,

it wasn t so much about models, per se,

but it s about a mixture, right?

It s every demographic, sort of being represented

to the best of the ability of the time.

And that was athletes that are training.

I m Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

I remember watching the US Open,

and I remember thinking ah, how lucky,

you know, she s in tennis and she s wearing

a designer sort of Nike dress,

so for him to come into Track and Field

is just, yeah, it s a dream.

(upbeat music)

I m Karlie Kloss, and we re in Paris,

backstage at the Off-white show,

and the show is literally about to start.

Hi, I m Georgia Fowler.

I love Off-white so much,

especially this collaboration with Nike,

because I usually live in sports gear.

It s perfect.
