"Off-White™ has never shied away from transforming utilitarian garments into cultural artifacts, and for Spring 2026, the brand's signature "STAFF" tee gets a fresh reinterpretation thanks to a collaboration with New York-based Brigade. Under the creative direction of Ib Kamara, the partnership brings together two distinct design philosophies, blending Off-White™'s graphic legacy with Brigade's streetwise sensibility and archival references. The result is a show shirt that feels deeply connected to both brands' DNA while marking a milestone moment:"
"Aaron and Sarah Maldonado of Brigade approached the project by revisiting Off-White™'s foundational aesthetic, a graphic language pioneered by the late Virgil Abloh that continues to influence the brand today. The design incorporates both brands' shared affinity for eagle imagery, a powerful motif that nods to strength and unity. Maldonado also introduced 12 flag graphics into the layout, referencing Brigade's own FW25 collection where flags symbolized interconnectedness and global identity."
