Ovadia & Sons' 2016 Fall/Winter Collection Looks to Its Roots
“Hasidism and streetwear and the peaceful coexistence thereof.”
Shimon and Ariel Ovadia took a look at their roots for Ovadia & Sons‘ latest collection. The Israeli-born and Brooklyn-raised twins were inspired by the idea of “Hasidism and streetwear and the peaceful coexistence thereof.” Because of their strong Jewish observation, the collection didn’t seem off-point or misguided. The looks were rooted in authenticity and were translated to be wearable by a wide range of fashionphiles. From dark silk tunics to flannels and robe-like coats, the inspiration wasn’t too obvious but definitely still respectful. Streetwear inspirations were taken from military fare, resulting in a range of bomber jackets and camo print.
