Hood By Air is a New York label founded in 2006 by Shayne Oliver and Raul Lopez, mixing ballroom, club and hip-hop references with deconstructed high fashion. Signatures include logo-print T-shirts and hoodies, distressed and reworked denim, harness and buckle detailing, and gender-fluid tailoring in oversized, layered silhouettes. Oliver and partner Leilah Weinraub paused the brand in 2017, during which Oliver designed a guest collection for Helmut Lang. HBA returned in 2020 with the "Prologue" relaunch, fronted by Naomi Campbell, and runs alongside Oliver's Anonymous Club studio.
