But then balaclavas went from an intriguing rarity to a bubbling trend. When I walked my French bulldog around my former neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, foolhardy daredevils would zip by on motorcycles and four-wheelers and perform their tricks while wearing a balaclava. Not too long after, during the first wave of the Omicron-variant in December of 2021, balaclavas served as multi-purpose facemasks. They also infiltrated rap culture seemingly overnight around this time, too. Drill rappers such as Tion Wayne and SL wore ski masks throughout their music videos and performances. Nicki Minaj even started selling some for $40 after she rapped about the trending accessory in a hard-edged collaboration with rapper Lil Baby.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a particular sect of hip hop culture and its passionate, creative fans had taken a special liking to balaclavas. As Brooklyn rapper Lola Brooke explains of the phenomenon, “In Brooklyn, we know what will be the biggest fashion statements before it takes off!” These days, the balaclava is as likely to be spotted in deep Bushwick as it is in, say, a Paris Fashion Week show or a trendy bar in downtown Manhattan. They have been spotted on the runways of an ever-growing list of shows, spanning both menswear and womenswear: Marni,

Loewe, Y-Project, Kenzo, Simone Rocha, and more. The latest Louis Vuitton menswear collection created with Colm Dillan of KidSuper featured a selection of leather and latex balaclavas paired with meeting-ready suits and overcoats. British designer Marine Serre upped the ante by selling masks that even cover the nose and mouth, leaving only the eyes exposed and creating something more primed for, say, Rihanna’s iconic “S&M” visual.

Yes, I actually cut and sewed this blazer last night, a few hours before I came to this shoot. I found these two blazers at a local thrift store and reworked them both into one couture piece! When I first started making knitwear seriously I was only knitting balaclavas. I was a sophomore in the fine arts department at Parsons who had just figured out she hates oil painting. I needed to figure out a way to meld my love of knitwear and my studio course so I made a balaclava with no face holes. I think I made up some self-isolation concept for it that was really dumb, but it started this chain reaction that had me making balaclavas on balaclavas.
