RECIPROCITY 1. The quality or state of being reciprocal (mutual dependence, action, or influence):
Virgil Abloh uses the platform of his Off-White™ label to provoke and challenge the semiotics of fashion. Here, he combines the delicacy of tulle with the robustness of weather-resistant nylon in the form of an anorak by the Canadian label Arc’teryx—"the equal of haute couture in fashion," according to Abloh. The ensemble’s embrace of symbolism that resides in both high fashion and activewear invites a broadening of creative possibility and collaboration.
