Virgil Abloh had an indisputable impact within the worlds of fashion and culture — often managing to bridge the two through his inspired and inimitably cool designs, which drew acclaim from industry icons, celebrities, and shoppers alike. And now, Nordstrom's newest capsule collection is just the latest in a long line of showcases that aim to pay homage to the designer, all while attempting to capture the magnetic essence of Abloh and his wide-ranging portfolio of brands in the process.
Debuting within Nordstrom's New Concepts division — a specialty platform from the retailer that houses a number of different pop-up shops and collections — is Concept 018: Virgil Abloh Securities, a first-of-its-kind showcase for fans of Abloh that condenses all of the designer's flagship projects into one convenient shopping space and includes new styles from brands like Off-White, Canary Yellow, and Alaska Alaska.
The collection features everything from cotton bomber jackets and baseball caps to gender-inclusive sneakers, tie-dye minidresses, leather handbags, graffiti-adorned T-shirts, and even Church & State merchandise from Abloh's "Figures of Speech" exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum — with prices starting at just $50. Browse a few of our favorite styles from the Virgil Abloh x Off-White capsule collection at Nordstrom ahead.

The cotton-blend hoodie is designed with the Brooklyn Museum's "Figures of Speech" exhibit in mind — hence the bold, lettered design across the front. The exhibition aims to pay homage to the work of the late artist and designer.

Off-White Dégradé Twist Hem Crop Top
The classic crop top gets a seriously fun and colorful makeover in this Off-White Dégradé Twist Hem Crop Top ($810) style. The top is elevated by crystal-embellished lace accents that cultivate a unique and eye-catching ombré design on the sleeves. And even though the blouse has long sleeves, we appreciate that the spread-collar shirt does offer a subtle, midriff flash that makes the style all the more sexy and breathable!
