NYFW F/W 2016 Collection Inspirations

O’2nd Brand Director Minsoo Chung was inspired by “A vintage mood meets a modern city.” 

The O’2nd Fall/Winter collection is inspired by the Victorian era and embraces a high-vintage theme. The name of the collection, “City and Crafts,” suggests the crafty, elaborate design detail re-interpreted to fit into a wearable everyday city lifestyle. Hand crafted design details, brass buttons and military double breast silhouettes meet slits, cutting and tying techniques to resonate the Victorian mood. American artist Frank Stella’s black and white artwork additionally inspires the design details throughout the collection, with subtle fall and winter color palettes alongside red and cornflower blue point colors to emphasize sophistication.
