This is NYFW Hood By Air Spring 2014 Collection. This is the best Collection i have seen in a very long time. Not only is it innovative and different but very trendsetting.
Hood By Air started in 2006 with just "HOOD"graphic t-shirts, and now is one of the most exciting street wear brands today. Designer Shayne Oliver did not give us the typical streetwear collection, with oversized sweaters and high-top sneakers. He gave us High Fashion.
The show was Titled “Gump” and during the show you could hear booms and clashes that sounded like scraping metals. There were plenty of logos, lots of zippers, button downs, and nylon ropes inspired by Asian parachutist uniforms that brought a dark edge to the collection.
Androgyny was an understatement. The ambiguity of models and pieces that were put together, like the skirts and shorts; brought an interesting no gender at all edge.
Shayne Oliver is a one of a kind designer. I'm very excited to see what he will come up with next!
