New York City’s creative energy is the backdrop for ‘Pop Romance’, the Spring Summer 2026 collection inspired by the cultural force of Black creativity that shaped disco, hip hop, graffiti, and streetwear. On the rooftop of New Design High School, guests are immersed in art, community, and style through a graffiti mural by four local NYC artists: Daze, Lady pink, Mast and CES celebrating the five boroughs.

Against the light pinks and purples of the basketball court, Ib Kamara’s collection pushes the boundaries of formal wear, stretching its limits in search of an alchemical balance with streetwear. Off White channels the city’s creative energy and the spirit of the art, community and style with athletic references, varsity codes, luxe details, and Swarovski crystals - balancing bold silhouettes, graphic contrasts, and vibrant accents that capture the city’s urgency and modern edge.

There is a tension between slinky sheer fabrics against more structured silhouettes and the graphic abstractions of New York. Masculine uniforms within the collection are more sensual while womenswear evokes a sense of business from the added shoulder pads. A soft pair of bowling brogues in cream with the perforated arrow motif and a horse like kitten mule with a cushioned instep are proven highlights.
