A striking take on the classic cropped jacket, this O for Ozbek piece captures Rifat Ozbek’s signature blend of texture, symbolism and bold detail. Cut in rich black velvet, the silhouette is short and structured, with a softly padded feel that gives it presence without losing ease.
Gold-tone metal buttons run through the front and across the chest pockets, adding a strong visual contrast against the depth of the velvet. Subtle embossed imagery is worked into the fabric, a quiet but distinctive design detail that reveals itself as the light hits the surface. The interior is just as considered, finished with a statement padded lining that brings an unexpected flash of colour and texture.
There are faint marks to the front of the jacket, but they do not detract from the overall impact of the piece. It remains a confident, wearable example of Ozbek’s design language. Style it simply with denim and a white tee, or lean into its richness with black tailoring for a more elevated look.
