I'm sure you all have heard of the interestingly unique fashion brand named "Hood by Air" or 'HBA" for short. Similar to Pyrex Vision, they have really enhanced competition and increased innovation within the streetwear market of fashion. Shayne Oliver (pictured above in Vouge Magazine) is the creator of the lucrative label. His line consist of many sheer wrap skirts, oversized coats, and delicate zip-away layers which were featured in his fall 2013 collection. Oliver started Hood By Air with a collection of sweatshirts and T-shirts in 2006. Many celebrities have supported his clothing including but not limited to: Kanye West, Rihanna, Ciara, Kendrick Lamar, and A$AP Rocky, the latter of whom closed the show during fashion week in February. Oliver said this in vogue magazine about his introduction to fashion: " My grandmother was a seamstress in Trinidad, and she didn’t want me to go to day care, so she would have me sitting with her. It became my play and my enjoyment to be around fashion. When I came back to America around age six, I was living with my mom. Everyone in America was wearing T-shirts. I would glamorize mine with paints and sew different T-shirts together. And then I just knew what I wanted to do. It never dawned on me that I was a designer. It just continued. " Check out some of his trendsetting designs below!
