MILAN — LVMH has sold Off-White LLC, the company that owns the Off-White brand, to the New York-based Bluestar Alliance LLC.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

The late Virgil Abloh founded Off-White in 2012.

“Virgil was a creative pioneer who had a profound impact on the global fashion industry and creative community. Acquiring Off-White represents a unique opportunity for Bluestar Alliance to honor and build upon the enduring legacy of Virgil Abloh,” said Joey Gabbay, chief executive officer of Bluestar Alliance. “His visionary approach to fashion resonates deeply with our core values. Abloh’s ability to fuse street culture with high fashion has laid a powerful foundation that aligns with our vision of fostering innovation while embracing diversity. The acquisition of Off-White, and the opportunity to provide strategic investment and build upon our global network of resources will allow for the continuation of the cultural and creative momentum that Virgil ignited, one that Bluestar Alliance is committed to carrying forward.”
