Anonymous Club Resort 2024 collection, runway looks, beauty, models, and reviews.
Shayne Oliver has to be one of fashion’s most elusive characters. Since announcing the relaunch of Hood by Air in 2020, the designer has been teasing a number of projects: First was “Prologue,” the HBA capsule modeled by Naomi Campbell; then came a preview of his eponymous ready-to-wear label at New York Fashion Week in February of last year, followed by Anonymous Club, the creative studio/fashion label/talent incubator he formally introduced last year.
The lineup itself is a tightly edited collection of staples with the Shayne Oliver twist in a limited color palette consisting of black, beige, and neon green . There’s the pagoda shoulders Oliver often presented at Hood by Air, his usual club-ready leather jackets and trousers, and a run of oversized utility jackets.
The show-stealer in this lookbook is a three-headed chihuahua, a reference to Cerberus, the hound of Hades in Greek mythology that guards the gates of the Underworld. Oliver explains it came from a dark place: Back in the HBA days, he felt in need of a watchdog to look over ideas and protect the “naive period in the creative process.” He feels similarly about Anonymous Club now. “Sometimes some aspects of things need to be protected for it to blossom into something,” he explained.
It’s been close to 10 years since Hood by Air’s first-ever runway show for the spring 2014 menswear season. Hindsight is a powerful thing, and while some of us see theon design or even casting, Oliver sees it in the way his work has been consumed and understood. “There tends to be a way people dissect what I’ve done in the past, where because there was a collaborative spirit, the material came off as if it wasn’t a personal conversation and it wasn’t my story,” he said.
I asked Oliver to comment on HBA’s impact 10 years later. He offered two takeaways. First, he’s ready to be more selfish with his creativity, which these separate projects allow. Second, he has more to offer: “It’s hard to be reflective when you’re still in the space of your activity, but I’m ready to create more guidance.” My takeaway: You could say Shayne Oliver is now his very own Cerberus.
