A striking example of Virgil Abloh's ability to merge feminine tailoring with the industrial, street-informed design language of Off-White, this Spring/Summer 2022 Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh mini dress combines a beautifully clean coral body with vivid fuchsia leather harness detailing.
Cut in a fitted, body-skimming mini silhouette, the dress features a minimalist straight square neckline and precisely seamed construction through the front, allowing the saturated coral fabric and architectural shape to remain the focus. The restrained front gives way to a dramatically open back, where narrow fuchsia leather straps create a lingerie- and harness-inspired framework.
The leather straps extend over the shoulders and around the upper back and are punctuated by Off-White's characteristic circular perforations. Long adjustable leather ties meet at the center back, creating an intentionally elongated, deconstructed finish. The intense fuchsia leather against the softer coral body gives the piece a distinctly graphic quality.
The lower back remains open before meeting the fitted skirt at the waist, while a concealed center-back zipper provides closure through the skirt. The result is a dress that appears almost minimalist from the front and dramatically more experimental when viewed from behind.
Produced during the Virgil Abloh era of Off-White, the dress carries style/reference number OWDB380S22FAB001, with the S22 designation corresponding to the Spring/Summer 2022 season. Off-White's SS22 collections continued Abloh's exploration of tailoring, streetwear and unconventional treatments of familiar wardrobe forms.
The original Off-White branding, composition labels, authentication/QR labeling and retail hangtags remain attached.

Style Notes
A standout warm-weather cocktail piece that captures Off-White's signature tension between refinement and industrial design. The relatively restrained coral front makes the exposed back and fuchsia harness construction especially impactful.
Ideal for a collector of Virgil Abloh-era Off-White, contemporary designer fashion, archival streetwear or directional early-2020s fashion.
