Off-White’s Spring 2026 show, under IB Kamara’s direction, brought the brand back to New York with a loud, colorful ode to the city that shaped so much of its DNA. Held on the rooftop basketball court of New Design High School, the runway unfolded amid freshly painted graffiti murals representing each borough—a setting that blurred the line between a fashion show, an art exhibition, and a block party. Students cheered from the cafeteria, the New York Liberty’s mascot sat front row, and stars like Mary J. Blige and Busta Rhymes were in attendance. The atmosphere was pure New York energy.

Titled Pop Romance and Fountain of Youth in different notes, the collection leaned heavily into sport, streetwear, and Black cultural references—disco, hip-hop, graffiti all the elements that Virgil Abloh once spotlighted as the foundation of Off-White. Kamara doubled down on that heritage. The result was bold and maximalist: body-con leggings in graphic color-blocking, sheer button-downs with shoulder pads, crystal-studded denim, and varsity jackets airbrushed with skyscrapers. At times it felt slightly overdone, but always classic streetwear at heart.

There was no shortage of spectacle, glittering collars, paillette-covered dresses, and a mix of utilitarian pouches, flared trousers, and halter tops that nodded to both the 1970s and today’s sportswear culture. Sneakers, another Off-White signature, got a refresh too, from flatter bowling styles to logo-heavy performance versions. The show closed on a high, pairing prismatic tailoring with sheer, fluid dresses that nodded to nightlife glamour.

Kamara made clear that he sees streetwear not as dead, but alive and urgent. While some looks pushed the limits and risked excess, the core of the collection captured what Off-White has always been about: community, culture, and creativity rooted in the streets.
