ARCHIVE DIVE: VETEMENTS

A dive into how Vetements’ archive continues to ripple through its present collections. From wrinkled tailoring and layered deconstruction to inverted denim forms and apocalyptic band imagery, these pieces echo the brand’s rebellious roots while recasting them in a modern editorial lens.

Side-by-side comparison of Vetements FW25 Logo Extreme Shoulder Fitted Zip-Up Hoodie and FW16 hooded dress showing early Cradle of Filth merch-inspired silhouette, exaggerated shoulders, and gothic couture influence.

The Logo Extreme Shoulder Fitted Zip-Up Hoodie channels the silhouette of the FW16 hooded dress, the season when the brand first wove Cradle of Filth merch into its language. The capsule references a band beloved by Hot Topic–mall-rat fans, yet not especially well-regarded even among metalheads, exemplifying Vetements’ playful embrace of “bad taste” and its subversion of conventional fashion norms.

Side view of Vetements SS24 Metalized Wrinkled Single-Breasted Jacket and FW18 crumpled jacket, showing sculptural tailoring, metallic sheen, and distorted texture in contemporary Vetements outerwear.

The Metalized Wrinkled Single-Breasted Jacket mirrors the FW18 crumpled blazer, transforming distorted texture into tailored refinement. The metallic effect is achieved through aluminum-coated stretch wool-blend fibers, allowing the material to be bent and crinkled.

Vetements FW25 Desktop Double-Layered T-Shirt displayed next to SS18 reconstructed tee, highlighting deconstructed panels, re-stitched construction, and avant-garde hybrid streetwear tailoring.

The Desktop Double-Layered T-Shirt echoes the SS18 reconstructed tees, where staples were spliced and re-stitched into fractured new forms.

Vetements FW25 Upside-Down Denim Jacket compared with FW19 upside-down puffer, featuring inverted construction, exposed seams, and subversive streetwear silhouettes.

The Upside-Down Denim Jacket follows in the lineage of the FW19 upside-down puffer, inverting a classic into a subversive icon.
