ALTU SWEATERS

Established in 2021, ALTU is a label by French-American designer Joseph Altuzarra that is relaxing the dress codes with its “genderful” offerings. The New York–based ready-to-wear brand gives positive meaning to teenage angst, embracing its plurality and impulse toward individual expression. The label’s collections break the mold assertively, tweaking everyday staples like knit sweaters, jersey T-shirts, and cargo pants with unconventional cuts and accents. Leather is present throughout the label’s catalog, from wrap miniskirts to low-slung pants with leg widths that vary from tapered to wide. Founded on the belief that identity and style are in constant flux, ALTU cultivates self-discovery with clothing that rewrites the conventional rules of dressing.
