ABOUT ET OCHS
Confidently individual, boldly sensual and spontaneous; the juxtaposition between utilitarian and sensuality defines the narrative for the Et Ochs Pre-Fall 23 Collection.
The excitement and anticipation of outdoor adventures and the magnificent landscapes of Upstate New York serve as the starting point for the collection. Blurring the boundaries between utility and adornment: Japanese elasticated reflective shock cord snakes through luscious Italian-made jersey, while jewel-like custom toggle hardware adorns the neckline and offers adjustment capability. Silhouettes are laid-back, sharp, and empowering: easy and uncomplicated garments are cut close to the bodice with exaggerated shoulders, juxtaposing masculine inflated pockets and tool-belt detailing.
Fiery Caution Orange and Firefly warmed a scenic palette of Acadia, Oak, Midnight, Heather Grey, Optic White and Black; evoking a chilly autumn night spent outdoors next to a radiant bonfire.
Core fabrications consist of luxurious Italian-made Stretch Cady, Gloss Jersey, Power Stretch Viscose, and Technical Twill, counterbalancing with utilitarian Japanese Indigo Raw Denim, Terry-Back Jersey, recycled Polished Parachute and Moroccan heavy-duty Matte Calf Hides.
