It’s well-documented that Mr Virgil Abloh is a workaholic. Four hours of sleep at night and, give or take, 300 flights per year (depending on what you read). This is all second nature to a designer that, perhaps more than any other at the moment, is a symbol of the new mood in fashion: fast, witty, multi-channel, always on.

Of course, it’s no huge surprise that Mr Abloh is a busy man. As if it wasn’t enough to be at the helm of Off-White – the streetwear-meets-luxury brand he launched in 2013 that’s now one of the most coveted labels in the world – he’s also been serving as artistic director of menswear for Louis Vuitton since March 2018. And then there are the other projects. As Mr Abloh admitted in his 2017 lecture to students at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, he seldom says “no” to an interesting collaboration opportunity. So that’s why 2018 alone had (deep breath): Off-White x Jimmy Choo; Off-White x Sunglass Hut; Off-White x Chrome Hearts; Off White x Timberland – you get the picture.

Far from fatigued, though, Mr Abloh has decided to begin 2019 with one more collaboration, an exclusive capsule collection for MR PORTER entitled “Modern Office”. Launched on site this week, the collection comprises outerwear, shirting, sneakers, accessories and the brand’s trademark printed sweats and T-shirts. It also introduces two new signatures: a tiled, scribble logo design and a handwritten “Class of 2013” print that refers to Mr Abloh’s very first Off-White collection and, implicitly, the meteoric rise he has achieved in the fashion world since then.
