Looks were presented by skaters and in attendance was Off – White’s Virgil Abloh, A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti and Ian Connor. Bari’s designs heavily feature the iconic VLONE branding, camo prints and stand out conflicting colours on a variety of jumpsuits, tees and hoodies. The event also signalled the beginning of a 15-day pop-up shop until April 30 in the same space, where the collection will be sold alongside a special collaboration with Virgil Abloh’s Off – White  label.

The concept of the brand which can be seen frequently on style icons and rappers A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti is outlined by Bari himself: “VLONE – Live Alone, Die Alone you feel me. It doesn’t matter if you were born in this world with a twin or not, you’re going to die in this world alone. I’m just trying to open up a new culture for the kids to know that it doesn’t matter about standing on the corner selling drugs — you can really make money out here just living your life“.

VLONE is certainly a label which has the backing from some major names within the hip-hop industry being attached to the hugely successful A$AP Mob and its members Rocky and Nast specifically as well as up coming rapper Playboi Carti. It will no doubt have a lot of success as a brand as it develops with backing from the likes of designer Virgil Abloh.
