Luxury Hoodies | Top 6 High End Hoodies

Although it used to be a casual piece of clothing used for sports, the hoody has taken on a life of its own in the fashion world. High end designers have used the bare bones of the casual hoody to create their own luxury versions. This now makes it a style of clothing that differs in price enormously. In most shopping malls you can find cheap £5 market deals all the way upto £2500 luxury hoodies. We asked high end hoodie experts, Quemondo, to discuss with us their top 6 luxury hoodies and why they love the designers so much.

Her eyecatching designs are always vibrant and colourful, like the Neoprene hoodie pictured (£310).

KTZ

KTZ designs started off in London and Paris. They design male and female ready-to-wear clothing with instantly recognisable couture detailing. The brand has a contemporary urban edge, but also embraces ethnographic references and multiculturalism. The designs are usually based on a number of contrasting elements: futuristic and the historic, scientific and religious, anarchy and rules, shallow and depth. The style pictured is the Church embroidery hoodie by KTZ. The church print was first introduced in their 2012 show and is now part of their classic line. This has been seen on Kanye West, Theophilus London and of course Rihanna. (£530)

Versus by Vesarce

Versus is the offspring of Versace. Created in 1989 it has more of an individual and rock vibe unlike Versace’s more polished designs. This Jungle piece is a vibrant luxury hoodie that is full of summer personality. The print is made up of tropical tones. This zipped boutique hoodie makes a dramatic impression with a jungle print on the front and zebra print on the back. (£325)
