Which American designer founded the streetwear label Off-White in 2012?

Virgil Abloh founded the streetwear label Off-White. The American designer and entrepreneur developed the brand in Milan after building a reputation through projects including Pyrex Vision and collaborations with Kanye West.

The date can cause confusion: Abloh first established the predecessor Pyrex Vision in 2012, then rebranded it as Off-White in 2013. The quiz’s stored answer identifies the founder correctly, even though the wording treats the earlier 2012 origin as the label’s founding date.

Off-White became known for quotation marks, diagonal stripes, industrial graphics and a deliberate blend of streetwear with luxury fashion. Abloh later became artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear in 2018, making him one of the most influential designers to move between street culture and traditional luxury. Shayne Oliver, Jerry Lorenzo and Heron Preston are notable designers, but they did not found Off-White.
