New York Times Fashionさんのインスタグラム写真 - (New York Times FashionInstagram)「A very weird hybrid of comfort and constriction has developed a cult like following: the corset hoodie. The garment is a fashion Frankenstein — cozy hoodie on top, restrictive corset on bottom — that is both a conjugation and rejection of its parent trends. It’s also gaining in popularity. In April, Bad Bunny wore a black one for his performance at Coachella. The corset half was sheer with visible boning. It had been customized for him by Mugler, whose creative director, Casey Cadwallader, introduced the style into the brand’s collection in 2022. Adding a corset to a hoodie “formalizes the most informal thing,” said Cadwallader, who has regularly worn the design, including while taking a bow after his most recent runway show. Wearing it zipped up can feel like “a back brace at the gym,” but wearing it open feels like any other hoodie, only “a little more fierce, and also a little more comical.”Another designer, Timothy Gibbons, repurposes from hoodies he find in tourist shops on Canal Street. His designs have found a following among New York’s young downtown scene, as well as with pop stars like Charli XCX. Interview magazine recently photographed the TikTok girl du jour Alix Earle in one of his hoodies. . Gibbons said their popularity was a result of “leeching off New York’s iconography, in a way, but also making something so comfortable and wearable as a hoodie have this sex appeal.” A handful of other corset hoodies are on the market: by Celine (cashmere, no closures), Dion Lee (French terry, with hook-and-eye clasps), Eckhaus Latta (zipped and not quite as snatched as the others) and the emerging designer Weslah (lace-up, with a crystal logo).
