The Lost Tribe costumes are distinctly theatrical yet flattering. They require more fabric than the standard bikini costume, so striking a balance between cool and camp is a must. Maharaj says the departure was intentional. “We jump around for two days in the sun, it’s very hot, we’re in the middle of the planet,” he said. “I understand the reasoning for a two-piece or a one-piece, or basically something that could allow you to be able to not die of heat and collapse on the road. However, I do think that it’s a very narrow book or narrow column to write in.”
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.
