Ib Kamara Says He's Leaving Off-White With 'Enormous Pride'
The brand said it remains open to future collaborations after Kamara’s four-year run as creative director.
- On Monday, August 31, 2026, creative director Ib Kamara announced his departure from Off-White, ending his four-year tenure at the label founded by designer Virgil Abloh.
- Following Abloh's death in 2021, Kamara was appointed art and image director and presented his first show in Paris in 2023 after connecting with Abloh on Instagram in 2019.
- LVMH previously purchased a 60% stake in the brand in 2021, with 40% remaining with Abloh, before Bluestar Alliance acquired Off-White from LVMH in 2024 on what would have been Abloh’s 44th birthday.
- Gabbay, CEO of Bluestar Alliance, thanked the outgoing director for his "remarkable energy," while Kamara said he leaves with "enormous pride" after a "profound creative education."
- Off-White remains rooted in the belief that fashion should speak to everyone, a vision Abloh established to foster a global community and inclusive creative approach.
