Helas Smash Crewneck Sweatshirt

Inspired by the brand’s self-confessed admiration for timeless ‘80s sportswear, this heather grey Smash Crewneck Sweatshirt from Helas arrives as part of the skatewear brand’s latest AW20 collection. Made from 100% cotton with a midweight insulative composure to help lock-in warmth as and when it’s needed, this long sleeve regular fitting sweater is styled with cuffed sleeves, an elasticated hemline and with a comfort-orientated rib knit collar across the neckline that’s set to provide structurally secure protection from the elements. A single embroidered brand tab accentuates the hemline, whilst the turquoise, orange and navy blue screen printed ‘Smash’ logo across the centre of the chest delivers an old-school inspired rewrite of the brand’s iconic umbrella logo and its bold font namesake.

Following on from their nautical minded SS20 release and their ‘Escape to Paradise’ ‘80s inspired collection from 2018, AW20 for Paris based Helas welcomes a refreshing sense of yesteryear nostalgia into the seasonal mix. Founded in 2011 by Lucas Puig, Stephen Khou and Clement Brunel and originally coined the ‘Helas Cap Club’ due to their extensive headwear collection and appreciation for classic Lacoste Steez profiles, Helas has grown exponentially to become an internationally recognised brand backed by an ever-growing skate legacy.
