Odeeh Fall Winter 2026-27 Lookbook

For the Fall Winter 2026-2027 season, designers Otto Drögsler and Jörg Ehrlich embarked on a creative pilgrimage through the heart of Italy, letting the historical echoes of Arezzo, Florence, and Assisi shape their latest vision. The narrative of the collection is rooted in the "kitsch" and charm of 1950s jewelry and stained glass discovered in dusty flea markets and vintage boutiques. It is a story of curiosity and contradiction, following a protagonist who refuses to acknowledge the traditional gloom of winter. Instead, the storytelling captures a lingering late-summer spirit, where the "Many Faces of a Curious Woman" are revealed through a vibrant, ecstatic assemblage of prints and patterns that prioritize personal expression over seasonal norms.

The visual storytelling arc of the lookbook moves with an effortless lightness, defying the typical weight of a fall wardrobe. The narrative journey transitions from the structured elegance of Italian-inspired brocades to the playful shimmer of rhinestones, reflecting the light of the Mediterranean even in the coldest months. As the story unfolds, we see a rhythmic layering of dresses over trousers, complemented by whimsical caps and scarves that suggest a woman constantly on the move. This progression—from the eccentricities of vintage finds to the refined silhouettes of modern tailoring—frames the collection as a celebration of freedom, where the only steadfast rule is to remain authentically relaxed.

Technical innovation this season manifests in the brand's ability to maintain a sense of weightlessness despite the use of traditionally heavy fall textiles. The garment engineering showcased wool coats and aviator jackets that were constructed to feel as light as summer linens, allowing for the brand’s signature multi-layered styling. A primary highlight is the development of bespoke brocades that mimic the translucent, fractured beauty of stained glass, often embellished with strategic rhinestone placements to catch the light. We also observed a masterful approach to "proportional layering," with dresses engineered to drape perfectly over trousers without creating bulk, maintaining a slim and fluid line. The integration of varied prints—ranging from geometric jewelry motifs to abstract color-blocks—required precise textile mapping to ensure the "ecstatic assemblage" felt intentional rather than chaotic.

One cannot help but observe that Odeeh’s refusal to surrender to the "winter blues" is what makes their perspective so vital in the current landscape. We must admit that the inspiration drawn from 1950s kitsch provides a refreshing, tactile warmth that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. It is worth noting that the "relaxed" ethos of the brand remains its greatest strength, ensuring that even the most elaborate brocades feel approachable and wearable. From our perspective, the decision to maintain a "late summer" energy through clever layering is a brilliant way to offer versatility to a global customer who experiences varying climates.

We believe that by leaning into the contradictions of their Italian research trip, Drögsler and Ehrlich have delivered a wardrobe that feels like a curated collection of memories. But we are led to ask: in a market that often demands clear seasonal distinctions, will the customer embrace a winter collection that refuses to feel like winter? Can the "lightness" of these layered outfits provide enough protection when the Italian sun is replaced by the northern frost? It seems to us that as long as the spirit remains this expressive, the cold will never stand a chance. Ultimately, Fall Winter 2026-2027 is a radiant triumph of pattern and joy.
