The term “diffusion lines” doesn’t sit well with many brands — it’s why Miuccia Prada moved Miu Miu to Paris Fashion Week, Donatella Versace has reinvented Versus into its own beast and Proenza Schouler have been adamant against terming PSWL just that. Off-White, the latest luxury brand to venture into “diffusion line” territory has proposed an alternative to creating price-friendlier buying options: Virgil Abloh, pegged as a god of modern streetwear design, just launched capsule collection “For All” available only in selected Off-White boutiques worldwide (we’ve already scoured the Internet, you can’t get it anywhere else). Selection-wise, it features four graphic T-shirts (USD95) and four hoodies (USD170) branded with its signature diagonal stripes and quotation marks.

Abloh, who just last year collaborated with Nike to re-imagine its classics, is not one to shy away from acknowledging his appeal to youth culture through his often aspirational prices. With “For All” he comments on the Off-White aesthetic, “equally it can be relevant at an affordable price point.” We sure hope so. For a man whose personal inspiration is drawn from sportswear and street spirit, “For All” is finally a collection we won’t have to save up for.
