Hood By Air (HBA) SS16 "Montgomery Graduation" Distorted Portrait Layered T-Shirt
Product Overview A definitive archive piece from the Spring/Summer 2016 collection by Hood By Air, designed during the peak of Shayne Oliver's tenure before the brand's initial hiatus. This garment serves as a primary example of the SS16 aesthetic, which focused on the themes of "deconstructed uniforms" and "distorted face scans."
