Neighborhood Autumn/Winter 2022
Haven Neiman
Often referred to as NBHD, Neighborhood is a premium Japanese streetwear brand that has been around since 1994. The label was established by motorcycle enthusiast Shinsuke Takizawa, who had noticed the distinct Western influences on the Japanese streetwear market. Takizawa was also heavily influenced by biker gang culture and London’s prominent punk scene. He made note of the lack of Japanese streetwear offerings that were available in the fashion industry, so he decided to introduce the label with the following mission in mind: ‘Craft with Pride.’ Neighborhood draws inspiration from motorcycle, punk, and military cultures, while also spotlighting their well-used bandana print throughout a plethora of their items. Grunge aesthetics take up the repertoire along with additional countercultures such as biker culture, rock and roll culture, punk culture, and more.
Neighborhood’s seasonal collections spread beyond just apparel. The label often introduces a variety of home goods offerings and even accessories, headwear, and more. One of these new arrivals includes the Neighborhood T-Shirt. This everyday tee spotlights screen-printed Neighborhood brand at the center of the chest along with an additional crew neckline for added detail. Cut from cotton, the design’s breathable aesthetic finishes the rest of the look. Along with this everyday tee is a headwear offering that is suitable for any streetwear collection. The Neighborhood Dad Cap features a premium blend of cotton and polyester, resulting in a comfortable and durable silhouette. A brand name is attached at the left, while the embroidered branding patchwork at the face makes an impression. A buckle at the rear adjuster allows for optimal functionality.
The Neighborhood MIL-BDU / NE-PT Pants elevate the everyday pant rotation. Crafted from nylon taffeta and polyester, the silhouette’s rubber stopper allows for a functional touch along with the waist adjustment tab and button specifications. The embroidered Neighborhood branding makes an appearance at the hip pocket. Cargo pockets are placed for added functionality, while the snap button closure wraps up the rest of the silhouette. A top offering that pairs seamlessly with the pants and is a stand-out arrival from this collection is the Neighborhood Medal L/S Woven. The cotton-cut silhouette spotlights contrasting tape at the back of the front placket, while the three-dimensional embroidery of a Maria necklace is seen at the neck and behind the pointed collar. The button-down closure secures the fit, finishing the remainder of the streetwear-inspired silhouette.
