Hood By Air Designer Shayne Oliver Brings His Street Smarts to Longchamp

Street cred doesn’t get better than this. Cult label ‘Hood by Air’ founder Shayne Oliver injects his personal style and look into luxury French brand Longchamp with a collection comprising leather goods, footwear, ready-to-wear and garment bags for both men and women.

This new collection showcasing the collaboration between Longchamp and Oliver brings a much-needed breath of fresh air and buzzing energy into the family-owned and operated brand of Longchamp.

“I really like the idea of working with brands that are masters of their craft,” Oliver says.

“Longchamp has a prestigious history of providing luxury travel essentials with expert craftsmanship. It made total sense to work with them on my first all-accessories project.”

Known for his distinctive look of oversized tees, bold accessories and quirky silhouettes, Oliver elevated the street looks into high fashion by utilising luxurious materials in his creations.

This capsule collection of travel accessories and prêt-à-porter for Longchamp marries the French elegance and craftsmanship that Longchamp is known for with a modern aesthetic.

Even Longchamp’s classic Le Pliage bag has been given the Shayne Oliver treatment and has been reinterpreted and reimaged by him. With proportions changed and silhouettes altered, modern travel is updated and renewed with this collection, making it easy and convenient, with comfort being key.

“While this is not the first collaboration for Longchamp or Shayne Oliver, it was a particularly energizing experience to work with Shayne in order to offer an unexpected collection to our customers,” said Longchamp Artistic Director Sophie Delafontaine.

“Designing Longchamp product through Shayne’s lens was an exciting challenge that allowed us to create a product that is truly original.”
