N. Hoolywood Dazed & Confused Japan Issue Special Edition

Published on July 25, 2008 |

Coming to Dilettante for fall/winter 2008 will be the “Under Summit Wear” line from Japan’s N. Hoolywood. To celebrate this, we were able to get in a handful of these special boxes from Dazed & Confused Japan completely dedicated to the brand. Included in the box is a newspaper, written in both English and Japanese, detailing the influences of each of the brand’s collection as well as an extensive interview with designer Daisuke Obana and other background on the brand. Included with the very informative paper is also a free-size t-shirt and iron on decals to arrange as you wish — as the t-shirt suggests, you are expected to make your own! The Special T-shirt edition is in store now.

N. Hoolywood is the creation of Daisuke Obana, known to his friends as Mr. Hollywood. He developed a taste for vintage clothes early in his life and through repeated trips to Los Angeles as a buyer for vintage stores, quickly acquired the now famous nickname. His shop, located just behind the upscale shopping mall Omotesando Hills and off a very discreet side street, began first as a vintage shop but has since grown to become one of the most popular brands in the Japan fashion world. His collections are influenced heavily by Americana and his love for all things vintage. This special Dazed & Confused issue is an excellent peek inside Obana’s always working mind. Check it out for great articles about the brand’s wide range of influences including Apollo 11, Jello Biafra, Edward Gorey, American Splendor, Phil Spector and a lot more.

The “Under Summit Wear” line is N. Hoolywood’s standards line, specializing in top quality basics. Each piece comes packaged in a gorgeous custom box and is made from the absolute best materials. The autum winter collection will be available in store early September.
