Whether or not this was a intentional tactic, we conclude it convincingly established an identity for Zuckerberg as a non-conformist rather than created a casual fashion statement. This contemporary piece has become a sartorial classic for the Luca Faloni essentials collection.
Several fundamental details have been introduced to transition this piece from casual attire to a high end contemporary look. Fitted and elegant silhouette: The design has been streamlined removing bulky pockets and zip to ensure a fitted and flattering silhouette.

My Account Log in. Rocky, So, considering that, it may depend on the place, and some other factors I mentioned above. I do prefer doing that with big jacket and coat hoods though, because those hoods are usually bigger and puffier.
But yeah, a hood is a hood. The gangster thing is just a slang, and it also applies to rich neighborhoods and rich parts of town, as used by those who use hood to mention an area in a city. Not just poorer areas. There may be some relation with the slang hoodie from youth gangsterism fashion though, since many of them are fans of hoodies.
So I might be right off my rocker with that theory. It just sounds nicer, to me. Ghetto I use more as defining an area, and not necessarily crime ridden, but likely to be impovershed. Jewish ghetto, black ghetto, Russian ghetto. I think of it like the word shtetl, But, the words hood and ghetto certainly can be used interchangebly. I just tend to use hood with a negative connotation. JLeslie I got curious, being into clothing history, about whether or not there was something to the appeal of the term based on hoods, and hoodlums perhaps wearing hoods.
I thought maybe a street appeal could be based on our tendency of glamorizing certain criminal elements. I looked up the word origin and it turns out to be German, Swebian dialect to be specific. It was first used in San Francisco to describe street ruffians. It had nothing to do with them wearing hoods, however. It—always—almost always satisfies my curiosity!
By the s, the hoodie had evolved into a symbol of isolation, a statement of academic spirit, and several fashion collections. Young men, often skateboarders or surfers, sported the hoodie and spread the trend across the western United States, most significantly in California.
Just an aside. I thought this was so cute! And there you have it, more than you ever wanted to know about the hoodie! Important thing is, we all seem to like them a lot!! You reminded me with your historical post that when I was a little girl I was not allowed to wear garments with a hood when I played outside.
A safety measure, nothing to do with it having a negative connotation or being related to gang members and bad guys. JLeslie But just think of how many characters for Halloween which are evil that wear hoods!!! The Grim Reaper, Dark Wizards, etc, etc…The face is hidden, it has an aura of mystery and it creates anonymity.
Earthgirl If the hood is on. Most of us wore hooded sweaters and jackets for the style with the hood usually down. To join, you must be at least 13 years old and agree to the terms and conditions.
Social Question. When did the term hoodie get popular, and do you use it? I always called it a sweat jacket with a hood. Or, a hooded sweat jacket.
Hood means ghetto or gangster type to me. Shortly thereafter, Champion supplied sports kit including sweatshirts to the US military for training exercises and physical education classes. It was the blockbuster sports drama film Rocky which really gave the hooded sweatshirt iconic status.
Set in Philadelphia, the film tells the rags-to-riches story of how an uneducated but kind-hearted Italian-American amateur boxer, Rocky Balboa played by Sylvester Stallone , gets a shot at the world heavyweight championship.
The film went on to win three Oscars and is often considered to be the greatest sports drama film of all times. Since Rocky, the grey hoodie has featured in iconic running scenes in other films including classic thriller Marathon Man as well as in TV series such as political drama House of Cards. Hip hop culture developed in New York City in the s and American designer, Norma Kamali was among the first designers to embrace the new clothing.
Designers have put the hooded sweatshirt on the catwalk ever since. Unfortunately, the term now has negative connotations after being associated with criminality and some aspects of marginalised sub-cultures. In , Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent famously banned shoppers wearing hooded sweatshirts. Ironically, those very garments remained on sale within stores there. In July David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party, made a speech suggesting that the hoodie was worn more for defensive than offensive purposes.
Creating a timeless piece that could fit seamlessly into our modern lifestyle, as well as becoming a trusted running companion, is at the heart of why we decided to create the Fife, a storm grey hooded sweatshirt.
We felt the only way to honour such a beloved item was to try and elevate it as modern classic that delivers comfort - albeit in a more smart and sophisticated way.
