VETEMENTS (from vêtements [vɛtmɑ͂], French for "clothing") started in 2014 as a luxury fashion brand and "design collective"^[1] founded by Georgian fashion designer Demna Gvasalia^[2] and Guram Gvasalia (CEO of the company). The brand was designed by a collective of their friends who had previous experience at Maison Margiela, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Céline, and Antwerp's Royal Academy of Arts.^[3] Championing a more 'pragmatic' approach to fashion, Demna reflects the 'down to earth nature' that he says is reflected in what today's youth wear. Operating from a philosophical and methodological approach to his designs, Demna propelled Vetements to world class status in just three short seasons.^[4] Vogue has stated: "Part of the genius of Demna Gvasalia’s Vetements is its appropriation and refinement of mass culture into tongue-in-cheek garments."^[5] Luxury vendors who stock the collection include SSENSE, Net-A-Porter, Browns Fashion, and Matchesfashion.^[6]
