Ovadia & Sons looked to their Jewish roots for Fall 2016

Israeli-born Shimon and Ariel of Ovadia & Sons, examine “Hasidism and streetwear,” for fall 2016. “It looks simple, but it’s very calculated,” said Shimon, who went on to explain specific rules such as married men in the neighborhood must wear white socks and single men are to wear black. The contradiction of militaristic street style blended with Hasidic Jewish dress somehow worked and looked contemporary and refined, in a softer, silkier version. The duo showed belted robe style coats with tassels, satin lounging pajamas and embroidered souvenir jackets mixed with silky tunic shirts with many trailing long scarves. Tailored coats and blazers in silk, calf hair, cashmere and velvet were elevated with fabric-covered buttons and belts finished with tassels that lent an elegant feel to the collection.

There was also a military and athletic story at play with an unfinished raw-edged, olive green officer’s coat cinched with a wide, sturdy belt, and reversible aviator jacket in camouflage. An ultra luxurious, oversized parka with matching trousers was rendered in dark army green silk. This season the brothers found their perfect balance with a series of strong fashion forward pieces to choose from.
