Inspired by Abloh’s daring approach to fashion, The White Canvas represents a blank slate where contemporary artists can express their creative voices. The first phase of the project features three legendary pioneers of the 1980s New York underground scene: Lady Pink, Lee Quiñones and Rammellzee. Each artist brings their unique perspective to the LV Trainer sneaker, resulting in a visually intriguing and culturally significant collection — a hallmark that Abloh has set forth throughout his career.

RIMOWA Pilot Case
RIMOWA’s hard-to-miss presence at airports and backstage fashion shows has continuously pushed boundaries with its sleek and stylish Essential collection. Now, even its highly coveted Original Pilot suitcase receives a contemporary update in the form of the Original Pilot Silver. Originally introduced in 1994, the Pilot suitcase has gained a cult following amongst pilots for its ability to fit perfectly between cockpit seats and amongst fashion insiders for its easy- to-access interior today. RIMOWA pays homage to its rich design heritage with the grooved aluminium exterior, adjustable interior capable of holding a 16-inch laptop, stage-free telescopic handle and multiple pockets for organisation. The case also features two TSA-approved locks to ensure its safety during travel. For a touch of nostalgia, the brand offers a vintage-inspired Pilot Sticker Set featuring designs inspired by aviation companies from the 1990s.
