Off-White x Babylon LA Present Second Collaboration

OFF-WHITE x Babylon LA Collaboration 2

OFF-WHITE c/o VIRGIL ABLOH and Babylon LA have joined forces once again for a second collaboration, releasing two t-shirts and caps.

I impulse bought the last collaboration immediately after a friend told me about the impending release that very same day. Both him and I sat at a desk refreshing our phones and purchased the t-shirts (he grabbed the white, I got black). 

The first OFF-WHITE x Babylon LA Collaboration

I knew nothing (at the time) about the up and coming LA skate brand Babylon, created by Lee Spielman, but I was infatuated with Off-White. Former right hand man of Kanye West, Virgil Abloh's brainchild has become a successful and incredibly hyped fashion label, carried in boutiques and Barney's around the world.



"I QUIT"

This new collection features a similar design to the first, with "babylon" embroidered on the face of the shirt with "OFF" printed across. The back features another burning design, the first collab featuring a palm tree with the tag-line "I WISH YOU WOULD", the latest showcasing a dapper flaming skeleton with the line "I QUIT". The shirts are cut and sew and fit over-sized. Personally, the "I WISH YOU WOULD" tee is my favorite shirt that I own. The quality is insane an the fit is perfect. 
Killer packaging.

The new shirts will be sold as a pack that include a cap, notepads, pens and a few other dope office supply items. You can pick up this latest collaboration September 12th at noon either online or in store at Off-White's Tokyo location and Babylon's LA location. 

You can catch me refreshing my phone browser this next Monday, desperately trying to cop one.
