Why We Chose This
A Champion Hooded Sweatshirt from the 1980s is an object in the Museum's collection and was also featured in MoMA's 2017 exhibition Items: Is Fashion Modern? Champion invented the hooded sweatshirt in the 1930s as something roomy that athletes could wear over their competition gear and to keep them warm before and during training. In the 1950s and '60s, the Champion hoodie became popular among university students.

“The combination of spending time in Champion's archives seeing all their fantastic designs from the past and visiting their customization facility in Kansas City culminated in the creation of a new capsule collection that pays homage to vintage collegiate designs,” says our Associate Merchandising Director, Chay.

“Knowing how Champion's embroidery and printing processes worked informed the development of our capsule collection,” explains Chay. Creating MoMA versions of these classics reflects the Museum’s commitment to Good Design and the important cultural history that is embodied in the design of objects we live with and wear every day.”

“I have a research fascination with design innovations geared towards women, so I was thrilled to see catalogs from 1970 in which “Lady Champion” was launched,” says Chay. “Designs that had the ‘gymagination’ to position women in active settings.”

Our buying team has been collaborating with Champion, a 100-year-old manufacturer with work in MoMA’s collection, on products since the Museum’s 2017 exhibition Items: Is Fashion Modern? “We visited the Champion archives in order to get a better understanding of the brand’s heritage, as well as capabilities for future products,” says our apparel and accessories buyer Alex. “We were inspired by both the garments themselves—satin bomber jackets, yarn-dyed collars, university cardigans—as well as the approach to graphics that have defined generations of branded apparel. We looked to MoMA’s heritage as a nearly 100-year-old institution to put our spin on these classic designs.”
