New To Me

OZI_006

Another designer from AVENUE Fall/Winter Fashion Week who was new to me is Ngozi Faith of OZI. She presented a small mini-collection that featured black and white pieces of deceptive simplicity. Her aesthetic is distinctly minimalist, but with a passion for deconstructing. Take this Origami crop top in black. It’s a simple tee with segmented sleeves that make it so much more interesting, but in a simple, clean way – without embellishment. In fact, she achieves by taking away, what most achieve by adding. A neat trick. I have already styled this top in three different outfits – over a lace bodysuit, with a leather pencil skirt and with the eye-catching Curve skirt that she presented it with at Fashion Week.

Again, Faith subtracts rather than adds to create visual interest. Experimenting with form this curve skirt is a play on the fashionable high-low skirt, but curving sideways. It’s a delicious variation and so much more interesting. The chevron print is another way to add detail without adding embellishment.

The SLink platforms seemed a perfect choice with the skirt – especially since I could pick and choose my colors.

I dug out an old hairstyle from Truth that seemed a great fit, the rough, blunt bob has that same sort of modern, take-no-prisoners attitude I wanted. The necklace from Cherry, some round earrings and bold bracelets rounded out my choices.

The skin is PXL’s Jade – an easy choice for its classic elegance.
