Princess Diana inspires Off-White look in Paris
The most important outfit shown at Paris fashion week so far was not an
intricate silk gown or a tastefully cut trouser suit. It was a pair of white
cycling shorts and a double-breasted blazer worn by Naomi Campbell as she stood
in front of a troupe of 36 models dressed in looks inspired by Diana, Princess
of Wales.
This tableau was the finale of Off-White’s spring/summer 2018 fashion show,
held in the sumptuous 19th-century Salle Wagram theatre. Off-White is a
youth-centric brand with a tendency towards irony – the straps on its most
popular handbags look like police barriers – overseen by Virgil Abloh, Kanye
West’s creative director. Diana was the inspiration for the collection, which
sought to explore more complex territory than the princess myth of glamour and
tiaras.
Some of the looks were loosely inspired by the princess, such as the first
model’s leather skirt and matching leather blouson, its most Diana-ish touch the
white popped collar. Others were more direct: here was Diana dropping the kids
off at school in double denim, or Diana in her dotty pink dress, or Diana on her
way to the gym, as suggested by Campbell’s cycling shorts.
