Virgil Abloh's Off White brand kicked off Paris Fashion Week with a star studded show at the Paris Bourse.

Celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross, Idris and Sabrina Elba, Pharrell, Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, and many more came out in Off White looks to pay tribute to the designer, who passed away, suddenly, in November.

Apparently Abloh was prolific enough to produce enough designs for several seasons. His latest creations-- voluminous high-low skirts, sequined separates, and knitwear infused with jolts of yellow-- were showcased by iconic models Cindy Crawford, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Naomi Campbell, along with unexpected celebrities like Serena Williams and Jim Jones.

80 looks, ranging from ready to wear to couture captivated the crowd.

Over on the front row, it was a family affair. Pharrell brought his wife Helen Lasichanh and son Rocket to take in the showing.

In an Instagram post, Pharrell offered, " Today’s @off____white show was amazing. The setting, scene, talent, music and most importantly, the clothes, were fire. Your team crushed it. But you know that already, you see everything all at once where you are — all is one. Your family was there shining, reflecting your light. Anyone looking for you knows to look up at night, for the star that is OFF-WHITE™."

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky also blessed the festivities, with Rihanna in an Off White dress and a Diesel Fall 2022 coat.

The show concluded with a model, dressed in all white, carrying a flag that encouraged onlookers to "Question Everything."

With the onset of a potential World War, it's natural to question the place fashion and entertainment has in the global scheme of things. Events like these give us a welcome respite from the weight and worries of the world, and allow us to have moments of levity in the midst of darkness.
