OFF-WHITE C/O VIRGIL ABLOHのインスタグラム(off____white) - 6月20日 06時54分
the most important article we have found on Off-White™ thus far c/o @kukukuba ~ link in bio
The first photo is by #ChrisKillip.
It comes from "In Flagrante", the book which I regard as one of the most amazing bodies of work in the whole history of photography.
Oi! band The Angelic Upstarts are performing at a miner's benefit dance at the Barbary Coast Club in Sunderland.
The second photo is by @LivinCool Emanuele D'Angelo.
It depicts the crowd at Virgil Abloh's Off White show afterparty at the Silencio club in Paris.
When I saw Emanuele's shot I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Chris Killip's one.
I also remembered Virgil's tweet about Travis Scott, saying that what he does is "punk music during our lifetime".
I realize that this is not a Travis Scott's gig, but I don't think it would visually change that much.
It's been about two week since I first saw this photo and it is still digging a hole in my brain.
I think these two shots together sum up a lot of what is happening in the world at the moment.
Everything is the same and everything is different.
Analog b&w vs. digital b&w.
Miner's benefit dance vs. fashion show after party.
Band t-shirts vs. logo t-shirts.
No phones vs. smartphones.
So on vs. so forth.
And it's not like one thing is real and the other one is fake.
I think they're both equally real/fake/artificial/socially constructed.
There's nothing wrong about it.
The sweat is the same and that natural urge to be together when the music is loud is the same too.
