Designer Daisuke Obana Takes Us on a Safari Adventure with N.HOOLYWOOD SS26 Collection
Get ready to explore the wild side of fashion with designer Daisuke Obana’s latest collection for N.HOOLYWOOD. Inspired by the rugged landscapes and vibrant culture of South Africa, this collection is a perfect blend of daytime safari looks and urban styles for the evening.
Shot by the talented Hisashi Iesaka in Japan, the collection features technical fabrics, leopard spots, and traditional African-inspired prints. Despite being shot and made in Japan, Obana’s designs are a true homage to the beauty and diversity of South Africa.
The campaign, captured in landscape orientation, perfectly captures the essence of a safari excursion. The first looks of the collection showcase the daytime safari theme, with a white belted safari set, a grey tank paired with white hiking trousers, and technical fabrics printed with leopard-like spots.
As the sun sets over the Kirigamineski resort in Nagano Prefecture, Obana introduces more urban-inspired styles, including a faded denim trucker jacket, an oversized bright green check shirt, and striped tees with mismatched paneling.
As the night falls, the collection takes a darker turn with solid-colored pieces in black and navy blue. But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of patterns to keep things interesting. A white spiral print, inspired by traditional African designs, is featured on a t-shirt and shorts, while a geometric motif adds a touch of edge to black pieces like trousers, shirting, and a jacket.
The N.HOOLYWOOD SS26 collection is now available at the brand’s official webstore.
