Discover the Style Master Aiding Tyrese Haliburton in His Fashion-Forward NBA Underground Style Battles
Tyrese Haliburton's been scorching the court and the fashion world recently. His exceptional performances on the Indiana Pacers have them locked in a 2-1 lead against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. Off the court, Haliburton's style game is nothing short of electrifying, thanks to the visionary fashion guru, Olivier Rogers.
Olivier, a Saint Martin-born stylist living in Brooklyn, has been guiding Haliburton's fashion journey since his rookie season. From graphic tees and sneakers to high-end fashion staples like The Row and Prada, Olivier's eye for tasteful and distinctive pieces has transformed Haliburton's wardrobe.
Haliburton's current paparazzi-worthy outfits, like the Junya Watanabe look he wore for Game 1 or the Comme des Garçons suit he donned for Game 3, have turned heads. But it's not just the NBA that's taking notice: Jalen Green, Kyrie Irving, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - Haliburton’s Finals rival - have all rocked Olivier’s designs.
Following Game 1, Olivier shared some insights on his and Haliburton's style evolution, his ongoing obsession with Comme des Garçons, and the state of fashion in the NBA tunnel in 2025 with GQ over the phone from his hotel room in OKC.
When Olivier first met Haliburton, the young athlete was sporting typical athlete attire - skinny jeans, Jordans, and graphic T-shirts. Olivier's go-to brands, apart from his own label, were (and still are) Comme des Garçons, Junya Watanabe, The Row, and Prada, focusing more on unbranded pieces. Olivier aimed to set Haliburton apart from other NBA players and the average Joe by encouraging him to emulate the je ne sais quoi of stars like Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, and Willem Dafoe.
Haliburton's close friend Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shares a similar aura, but Olivier describes Shai's style as very New York with a predictable edge. Olivier's work with Haliburton had struck a chord when Tyler, the Creator commented on Haliburton's image on LeagueFits, expressing interest in dressing him. Although Olivier respects Tyler's style, he avoids replicating it for Haliburton, focusing instead on curating unique, trend-setting outfits that highlight Haliburton's classy side.
Tyrese Haliburton's wardrobe transformation, delivered by fashion guru Olivier Rogers, has not only caught the attention of fellow NBA players like Jalen Green, Kyrie Irving, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but also GQ magazine, who interviewed Olivier after Game 1. As Olivier guided Haliburton's style evolution since his rookie season, they moved away from traditional athlete attire, favoring brands such as Comme des Garçons, Junya Watanabe, The Row, and Prada. Olivier's goal was to set Haliburton apart, emulating the unique style of stars like Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, and Willem Dafoe. Now, Haliburton's fashion-and-beauty choices, including his iconic Junya Watanabe sneakers and Comme des Garçons suits, have become a staple on the sports and fashion landscape, both on and off the basketball court.
