OC x NYFW: N.Hoolywood FW13

The invitation to the N.Hoolywood Fall/Winter 2013 show was a piece of silver card that you could assemble into a tiny model aircraft. The I-beams in the show space, an old industrial building on Eleventh Avenue, were also painted silver. I was predicting something space age. But "Lost Star," the collection Daisuke Obana actually presented, was more retro-futurism than Star Wars. A perky jazz-age soundtrack played as models came down the catwalk in 40s-style tailoring and trench coats. The colors were rich blues and purples, and cozy flight caps and neck scarves accessorized each look. An N.Hoolywood collection is always about evoking a mood with precise details, and yesterday, the shrunken jackets, ever-so-slightly shortened pant legs, and fast pace signified an exciting movement onwards and upward.
