Olivier Rousteing isn’t interested in crafting your staple sweatshirt from simple jersey, oh no; the Creative Director of
Balmain uses tactile velvet to craft this iteration, morphing the fabric into a soft, slouching silhouette. Cinched by ribbed, stretch-cotton trims that surround the crewneck collar, cuffs and hem, this classic layer is adorned at the chest with a renewed rendition of the label’s logo.
