K-Pop's Love Letter To Designer Label Hood By Air [Blog]

Out of the many fashion houses out there, the particular label Hood By Air has garnered much love from K-Pop stylists recently.  The urban, gothic, and always edgy HBA gets the stylists’ attention because of its incredible prints and stage ready statement pieces. Created by designers Shayne Oliver and Raul Lopez, HBA has taken the K-Pop world by storm.

Hood By Air is known for it's obsession with the '90s, their oversized garments, bold graphics, and mixture of styles. Most pieces incorporate punk, bondage, and hip-hop elements in their clothings, thus creating a very unique brand.

Nowadays, Hood By Air is run now solely by the 26-year-old Shayne Oliver, but that didn't stop him from continuing the label's branding and conquering the world. He knew the whole world was in need of cool and edgy T-shirts, and with Hood By Air Classic's statement pieces, the fashion lovers around the world had a new obsession. The worldwide fashion community, photographers, magazines, and fashion bloggers, started wearing HBA; the label was gaining its well deserved recognition.

The cool kids around the world and celebrities, such as American rappers, A.S.A.P. Rocky and Drake, and pop star Rihanna, began wearing HBA. Moreover, performance artist Boychild did not only walk their runways, but she became a muse for the brand.

It wasn't until 2013, when Hood By Air debuted its first New York Fashion Week collection, that made Shayne Oliver one of the hottest designers in the fashion industry.
