In 2021, LVMH acquired a 60 percent stake in Off-White LLC. The brand is still under a licensing agreement with the New Guards Group that it can renegotiate or terminate in 2026.
The sale comes amid OFF-WHITE’s struggles to regain the relevance it had under founder Virgil Abloh, who died in 2021. The company has seen its cultural cachet decline, while a push into luxury under LVMH and new creative director Ib Kamara has “confused its core customers,” BOF writes.
