Earlier this yr Tom Ford dropped sheer and bodycon hooded clothes for Fall/Winter ’22, giving the hood its official invitation to formal costume codes this season. In September, Saint Laurent despatched a slew of clothes with hoods down the Spring/Summer season ’23 runway, paying homage to the home’s early ’90s hooded archives. Within the final month alone, inventive director Anthony Vaccarello’s draped maxis with built-in hoods have acquired stamps of approval from purple carpet regulars Olivia Wilde, Laura Harrier, and Blackpink’s Rosé Park.
