N. Hollywood a/w 2009-2010 - "Sky Scrapers" Show

Japanese brand N. Hollywood recently held their runway show of the Autumn/ Winter 2009-2010 collection. (wow! 2010, that just sounds crazy)



The season, entitled "Sky Scrapers", was inspired but none other than city skylines. Going along with the dramatic backdrop, the line used all straight long lines as well as boxy patterns that resemble the windows in a tall sky scraper. The colors also went along with the drab city feel as grays and blacks were featured heavily.







The collection of nice jackets, suits, pants, and sweaters will be available at N. Hollywood stores (Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong) in the coming season.

N. Hollywood s/s 2009 - New Order

Progressive Japanese line N. Hollywood has released another themed season for spring/summer 2009 titled "New Order"


Before you judge, take a look at the inspiration of the line:
"A collection inspired by traditional Amish quilts, handing over from mother to daughter, from generation to generation. The designs reflect the disciplined lifestyle and the clothing of Amish as well as the respect for ladies quilters is incorporated in details. Quilts were spread over parts of the vast grass-covered runway. On this land, brightly-dressed children gradually grow up into adults covered in ''ordered'' clothes."








Conceptually I think this is just awesome. How they tied the boxy quilt theme into every piece of clothing so well and completely ran with it for the runway aspect as well is just great execution.

Check out the entire line in runway shots through the N. Hollywood site.
Also look for the collection at N. Hollywood stores in Japan and Hong Kong as well as IT in HK.
