The company was first founded as "PYREX VISION" by Virgil Abloh in the Italian city of Milan in 2012.[2] Abloh then rebranded the company as Off-White, which he described as "the grey area between black and white as the color off-white" to the fashion world.[4] It has shown collections at Paris Fashion Week shows, and is sold in retail stores in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Milan, London, United Kingdom and New York.[4]
In August 2019, José Neves, owner of Farfetch, purchased New Guards Group, the parent organization of Off-White for US$675 million.[5]
