American Sportswear rains on the designer Hiroaki Ohya’s womenswear collection for OHYA. While the mens was simple in design, Ohya focused on a combination of Japanese structure with classic American sportswear pieces. He showed several monogrammed shirts and short skirts and dresses. The strongest looks from the collection are Ohya’s draped volume looks and deconstructed structure. In the opening section the designer showcased a lot of the American sportswear inspired look and into the second section he moved into his traditional Japanese modern minimalism and volume. One of the strongest looks from the opening section was a white starched linen shirt-dress with a layered collar that drapes down the front.

Ohya played with a few of this season’ trends but some of the pieces we to far of a reach into the trends. Like the jersey knit pants with a balloon shape leg. A lot of the evening looks are made up of zipper detailed dresses in all black. The must have look from the collection is a layered black tweed and jersey look. The skirt is a diagonal panel tweed skirt with a ruffle trim on the hem worn over a matching jersey skinny pant. The look is completed with a black jersey tank and a black jersey jacket with the opening of the jacket and the color trimmed with a ruffle. Overall the collection gives a new perspective to the sportswear look but the lack of morphing the two design aesthetics into one look.
