Off-White x British Vogue unite for The Black Curriculum
We are proud to announce that Off-White and British Vogue have joined forces for a special collection to benefit The Black Curriculum in our efforts to empower young people through Black British history.
The collaboration marks the fifth chapter of the Off-White™️ PSA program, which raises awareness and funds for organisations chosen by Virgil Abloh and his team in support of Black communities, this time in honour of Black empowerment through education.
For Edward Enninful, British Vogue’s editor-in-chief and European editorial director, the Off-White™️ and Vogue collection is the most fitting parting gift from a man who “always worked for a greater cause than his own illustrious career. To open the door to art and fashion for future generations, so that they – unlike himself – would grow up in a creative world with people to mirror themselves in.”
Designed by Virgil Abloh, the collection of special edition merchandise features a traditional Off-White™️ PSA t-shirt and two hoodie designs, one re-imagined in Abloh’s iconic script, produced in organic cotton.
All funds raised will benefit The Black Curriculum. Grounded in the arts, the organisation aims to prepare students to become fully rounded citizens, in preparation for the increasingly globalised world of today.
“The funds will enable us to roll out the creation of our pledge in tandem with national bodies to further the commitment of teaching Black history and develop location specific resources in Black history,” says Lavinya Stennett, founder and CEO of the Curriculum.
The “I Support Black Education” capsule follows a series of PSA programs led by Virgil Abloh and carried on by his Off-White™️ team, including “I Support Young Black Businesses,” “I Support Black Women,” and “I Support All Forms of Love.”
Hoodies, £150. T-shirt, £100. All net profits will go to The Black Curriculum.
