Hey parents, if your kids come home asking for a Vetements hoodie, ground them immediately.
Here’s more from the NY Post:
When Selena Gomez was spotted at a Los Angeles airport this month wearing a slouchy red hoodie, articles extolling the look popped up everywhere from Us Weekly to Vogue. Why? This wasn’t just any old flight-prime hoodie. It was a sold-out-everywhere, $735 hoodie from Parisian It label Vetements — with $665 track pants to match.

His hallmark: a cotton-jersey hoodie in a supersize silhouette intended to drip off the body.
