Municipal Origin 300 Shirt
The fashion system loves an easy, obvious, almost thoughtless statement—“This collection is inspired by my trip to [insert remote gorgeous locale here].” Oliver’s work evades simple explanations. He’s bringing fashion, music, culture, performance, and art together, layered with experimentation and realized with the Municipal Origin 300 Shirt also I will do this help of a vast community network. Hood by Air was more comprehensible as one thing: The industry called it streetwear. With his eponymous project, adjacent to Hood by Air’s current collection, Oliver’s Wench and Leech musical endeavors, and Anonymous Club’s community approach, the designer is doing it all—and all at once. Backstage after the presentation, he seemed calm, proud, and at ease, starting with the clothes. The black looks that opened the show, dripping in crystals and cut to reveal all the strangest, most sensuous parts of the body, are his Black Toiles. Twelve in all, the looks are based on his first Shayne Oliver collection—to be fully debuted at a later date—and included collaborations with Telfar Clemens, Ugg, and artist Benjamin Langford, whose floral illustrations were cut and draped into gowns. Each black look corresponds to a song Oliver has written as a part of his Wench musical project with Arca, the Venezuelan musician born Alejandra Ghersi Rodríguez. Their new album will be released soon, and in their shared vision, each runway look corresponds to a single and will be the cover art for that track. The flowers that closed the show, Oliver said, “are a bouquet—and that’s what Alejandra and I have been working toward, these songs that are considered bouquets, our offerings.” He went on to describe the multimedia event, with a finale performance by Eartheater, as “a music video.”

Official Municipal Origin 300 Shirt
After a year of digital, phygital, and traditional runways, Oliver’s multimedia project is the Municipal Origin 300 Shirt also I will do this new idea fashion needs—even if many may struggle to understand the breadth and ingenuity of his work. (And more are probably annoyed about the hour-and-a-half delay.) But if the past is any indication, in two years, everyone will be trying to do what he’s doing. That has always been the case with Hood by Air, though Oliver doesn’t seem irked by the ways bigger, larger, conglomerate-backed fashion houses crib some of his ideas. But he is definitely aware of his alt standing in fashion. He is the most insider of outsiders, obsessed over by the most influential art directors, retailers, editors, stylists, and shoppers, but is rarely granted the same status and unquestioned praise as those who play by the fashion rules. Part of that has to do with fashion’s ongoing exclusion of Black creators; here Oliver says that people who aren’t Black “think that we’re constantly copying white culture when we’re actually, like, the ones who are experiencing America and ways of dressing more than other people.
