When Ben Gorham meets Virgil Abloh

If this is not what a dream duo looks like, then we don’t know what is. Ben Gorham, founder of perfume (and recently leather goods) brand Byredo, joined Off-White designer and all-around creative mogul Virgil Abloh for a capsule collection that had everybody talking even before it was released. Named “Elevator Music”, the collab takes the form of a new and highly desirable fragrance and bags. At Galerie Italienne on Rue du Louvre this Saturday, the two designers gathered, besides their unconditional fans who had spotted the event on social media, some of the coolest people like top models Anja Rubik and Tamy Glauser, Farida Khelfa or Christian Louboutin. In a scenography by Carsten Höller, it was the opportunity to immerse oneself in the shared universe of two of Paris’ most prominent designers.
