Jörg Ehrlich and Otto Drögsler of Odeeh share a mindset more open than almost any other designers in Berlin. They do not follow trends, nor do they exclude the possibility of new ideas. Creative compromises and differing opinions yield positive results here, both behind the scenes and on the catwalk. Always in focus: the Odeeh woman (and a not insignificant number of Odeeh men), who are lovingly nudged each season to push the boundaries of their fashion comfort zones.
For the new collection, this produced an eclectic mix of cuts suitable for almost any everyday movement in a wide variety of fabrics and finishes: luminous taffeta, crushed organza, sumptuous jacquard, and printed cotton. Voluminous pants with hand-width stripes were combined with stiffer tops that either wrapped around the body or were cropped to match jackets. In contrast, blouses and shirt dresses were overlong, with summery colors or oversized retro prints stripped of any mundanity.
