In the world of Odeeh, everything revolves around colors and patterns. During a research trip through Italy that included stops in Arezzo, Florence, Pisa, Forte dei Marmi, and Assisi, designers Otto Drögsler and Jörg Ehrlich were inspired by jewelry from the 1950s and the kitschy stained glass they discovered at flea markets and vintage shops. Their finds informed the brocades and rhinestones in their new fall collection.
There is no sense of winter in their new looks; not even the wool coats and aviator jackets disturbed the lightness of the multi-layered outfits. Instead, they confidently held onto late summer with dresses over pants, and a few caps and scarves. With “The Many Faces of a Curious Woman,” as they named the lineup, the two designers presented a collection built on contradictions and surprises. They have always promoted freedom and expression without going overboard. Sometimes that means a black midi dress, other times it means an ecstatic assemblage of prints. Their only rule: “Somehow it should remain relaxed.”
