Have you heard? Off-White is stepping into the beauty world with its new beauty brand, Paperwork. This may come as a shock as we all know Off-White as an Italian luxury fashion label and we are just as excited to get to know what kind of Paperwork we can expect from them. Paperwork is also one of Virgil Abloh’s highly anticipated concepts for Off-White. As the Italian luxury fashion label moves into beauty, Paperwork features a 4-part collection of genderless makeup, nail polish and fragrances. Showing that beauty is for everyone, Let’s take a look with Beauty Insider and discover all we can about Paperwork.  

Off-White Brand

Off-White is an Italian luxury fashion label founded by the late Virgil Abloh. Initially founded as “PYREX VISION” in 2012, Abloh rebranded the company as Off-White to describe the grey area between black and white in the fashion world. Since then, Off-White has thrived in the fashion world and collaborated with many notable brands including Jimmy Choo, Nike and IKEA. 

Paperwork By Off-White

Paperwork is the first beauty collection from Off-White and is the manifestation of the late Virgil Abloh’s “vision of a blank canvas to inspire endless creativity”. What’s more, Paperwork is designed to encourage human potential and offers a toolkit for self-expression in any form. Furthermore, Paperwork is a 4-part collection featuring genderless nail polish, makeup and fragrances. As it taps into sight, smell and touch, this collection includes ‘Color Matter’ nail polishes, ‘Solution’ fragrances and ‘Imprint’ face and body solid pigments. 

Upon its release, the genderless collection will offer an entirely customisable experience that allows people the freedom to express personality and individuality by replacing the conventional “instructions for use” idea. This new beauty collection joins the conversation of genderless beauty as “an inclusive art form at the intersection of humanity and individuality”. 

Paperwork Solution Fragrances

The first part of this 4-part genderless collection is the Paperwork ‘Solution’ Fragrances. Presenting us with 4 alluring and minimalistic fragrances, Solution was developed by the late Virgil Abloh himself alongside a selection of top perfumers. The packaging of these fragrances also shows Abloh’s interest in industrial manufacturing processes where the tops are grip control knobs that resemble vat handles.
