The O. BALLOU Spring/Summer 2015 collection was influenced by its Sicilian roots. More specifically, the collection was inspired by the island's capital, Palermo.
The brand continues its exploration of southern Italian identity with this collection, offering a series of soft knits that are perfectly tailored. The fabrics (from Italy and Japan) were picked specifically to ensure that the form and fit of each garment is up to par with the brand's quality. Each piece is both light and luxurious, staying true to the subtly, sophistication and finesse that is synonymous with the island and its history as the "heart of a kingdom."
Overall, the O. BALLOU Spring/Summer 2015 collection has a fitting elegance, composure and masculine energy that makes it an inspired wardrobe choice.
