Born from a shared vision of creating hip, wearable art, oda's design trio – Angie Kim, Mandalyn Begay, and Maggie Kim – introduced their debut collection at San Francisco Fashion Week, August 2005. With a signature style tinged in Edwardian tradition and incorporating a Tokyo-pop flavor, their clothes are eco-conscious and are designed to accentuate the beauty in imperfection. Angie and Maggie first met Mandalyn as undergraduates at Dartmouth College, and all three are currently finishing their fashion degrees at FIDM San Francisco.
We create apparel that people can be confident wearing and supporting. Our current collection is inspired by our Native American and Korean heritages. In line with our belief in the use of socially and environmentally sound materials and practices, most of our cottons, hemps and wools are organically produced. The rest of our fabrics are made from natural fibers like soy, and most of the colors are hand-dyed or tea-stained. Clothing details are eco-mindful as well; our feathers are collected locally from molting chickens and our buttons are made from found antlers and bamboo. We believe in maintaining and fostering the skilled crafts of traditional cultures and we'll continue to support this with our future collections.
