Hood By Air founder Shayne Oliver showcased his collaboration with Italian outerwear brand Colmar during Milan Fashion Week this week at Arco della Pace, presenting a unisex skiwear line mainly consisting of bright and colorful parkas.
Categorized under Colmar’s experimental creative arm Advanced Garment Exploration, or A.G.E., the collaboration is the first of a series of collections that “reinterprets Colmar’s core DNA” with modern elements with “unexpected collaborations.”
“It was particularly intriguing to transform these collections and reconfigure them through street language and my own aesthetics,” Oliver said. “Our encounter is an experiment in mood and energy which drives the outerwear collection a maximum, juggling the iconic products of Colmar with my sense of performance and a unisex approach to wearing fashion.”
The first set of the collaboration — available now at Browns in London, I.T. in Hong Kong, New York’s Totokaelo, Gr8 in Tokyo, Milan’s Excelsior and online at Ssense — is currently priced from 500 euros and 2,200 euros. Stay tuned for the second delivery in December.
