Off-White Opens Pop-Up Shop in Johannesburg

After just showing an art-filled Spring/Summer 2020 collection, Off-White is installing a pop-up shop in Johannesburg’s Sandton City Shopping Centre. The temporary space is the Milan-based label’s first pop-up shop in the South African city and will carry the Spring/Summer 2019 line, as well as the brand’s signature sneakers and other accessories, for six months.

 

The intimate 25-square-foot space mirrors the brand’s other stores, maintaining an industrial theme — exposed pipes and perforated sheet metal accents are particularly urban — with minimal yet clear-cut branding. Maybe if Virgil Abloh has a break from his new Vegas residency at the Wynn in Las Vegas (which is also getting an Off-White store, btw), he might stop by the pop-up shop himself. Check out some pictures of the store in the gallery above.

A Look at the Lady Gaga Museum

Few artists have been able to seamlessly merge the world’s of fashion and pop as effortlessly as one Stefani Germanotta, aka pop savant Lady Gaga. And while the artist has returned to Las Vegas to continue her acclaimed residency, ENIGMA at Park MGM — she took a bit of a hiatus to win an Oscar and tease her upcoming sixth album — fans can rejoice with an accompanying exhibition of her most iconic looks throughout her decade-spanning career.

 

Curated in part by her longtime collaborator Nicola Formichetti, HAUS OF GAGA/LAS VEGAS is an intimate look at some of the artist’s most indelible looks. Each of the pieces — including full looks from music videos, world tours, and various media appearances — was plucked from a temperature-regulated vault in California that preserves their legacy. Some highlights include the infamous cigarette sunglasses (as seen in the ‘Telephone‘ video), the meat dress (which she wore during the 2010 VMAs), the all-white bodysuit she donned during her career-making ‘Paparazzi‘ performance in 2009, and the Philip Treacy-designed rhinestone-covered lobster hat (just worn on a night out in London). Whether you’re a lifetime fan or just someone who appreciates striking design, there’s something to catch your eye in this pop culture time capsule.

 

A select number of pieces will be available for purchase with proceeds going towards the Born This Way Foundation, a non-profit co-founded by Gaga that promotes mental health awareness for youth. Check out some of the pieces below.
