For Spring/Summer 2015, O. BALLOU visits the island of Sicily. The island’s capital of Palermo is the backdrop for this season’s initial offering, providing a focus for the brand’s continued exploration of Southern Italian identity. Soft, knitted tailoring is again central to the collection, executed with lightweight constructions as befits the Mediterranean climate. Fabrics have been sourced exclusively from Italy and Japan to ensure that form and fit remain light and luxurious – the softness of silhouette remaining an O. BALLOU signature.

While the fineness of the SS15 collection nods to Palermo’s history as the heart of a kingdom and strategic capital, it also acknowledges the island’s tumultuous past. There remains an element of nonchalant grandeur to the range, an elegance that becomes accented when worn with composure and a masculine confidence.
