Under the creative direction of Matthew M. Williams, the brand has fully embraced the codes of contemporary luxury—blending streetwear silhouettes with impeccable tailoring and archival nods.
A key expression of this vision is the Givenchy Zipped Hoodie in Fleece with Hubert Objects Print. This piece, while inherently casual, showcases the brand’s ability to take everyday essentials and infuse them with artistic depth and design precision. It’s a celebration of comfort, culture, and couture—reimagining the classic hoodie through the house’s unique lens.
Soft, structured, and thoughtfully detailed, the hoodie brings an unmistakable sense of elevated ease to the modern wardrobe. At its core is the fleece—plush yet architectural, insulating yet sculpted. The print, a curated collage of objects associated with Hubert de Givenchy himself, transforms the garment into becoming wearable homage to the brand’s storied founder, offering a quiet narrative that links the past to the present with subtle grace.
The silhouette is relaxed but refined. With a clean zip-up front, drawstring hood, and ribbed cuffs, the piece stays true to its utilitarian roots, but its refined structure and signature print push it far beyond standard athleisure. It’s an intelligent take on casualwear—something that balances nostalgia, design intention, and effortless style.
What sets this piece apart is how seamlessly it moves between luxury and leisure. Whether paired with tailored trousers or distressed denim, the hoodie adapts to the moment. This flexibility is increasingly vital in a world where comfort and elegance no longer exist on opposite ends of the fashion spectrum.
Textural balance is also central to this design. The fleece exterior offers tactile warmth while maintaining a sleek profile. The print’s delicate detailing adds visual texture without overwhelming the silhouette. In a way, it’s as much about restraint as it is about creativity—a study in what happens when luxury is approached through a lens of purpose and subtlety.
Hot Style Tips
- Tailored Contrast: Layer the hoodie under a structured wool coat with tailored trousers and leather Derbies. The juxtaposition of sharp lines and soft fleece makes for an intelligent, city-ready ensemble.
- Monochrome Cool: Embrace a full black look with slim joggers, chunky-soled sneakers, and the hoodie zipped up under a bomber. Add black sunglasses and a leather crossbody for off-duty edge.
- Archival Street: Play up the print with wide-leg jeans, vintage accessories, and a pair of Givenchy’s TK-360 sneakers. Let the hoodie’s heritage graphics take centre stage in a laid-back streetwear look.
- Layered Luxe: For cooler days, wear the hoodie under an oversized denim jacket or leather biker. Style with tapered cargo pants and tonal boots for a layered, modern take on transitional dressing.
Style it boldly or quietly—the hoodie invites both. It can anchor a laid-back look or serve as the unexpected twist in an otherwise formal ensemble. That’s the beauty of Givenchy’s contemporary direction: it allows luxury to breathe, to move, to adapt to life as it’s lived.
For those seeking wardrobe essentials that carry depth, sophistication, and a touch of rebellion, this zipped hoodie is a quietly powerful addition—equal parts homage and innovation.
