oba, a brand dedicated to elevating women’s outerwear

into fashionable statements of style and personality,

presents Prepared & Embraced for Autumn Winter

2013. The thought provoking collection of overcoats is

an inaugural design collaboration which combines the

creative forces of both oba and the artisan designer label

dra/wn.

Prepared & Embraced, inspired by Anne Frank, Louise

Bourgeois, Mother Teresa, Emily Dickinson, Eileen Chang,

Frida Kahlo, Julia Child, the Soong Sisters and Susan

Sontag, is a collection that weaves emotional dialogue

into a material response to the ways in which people

respond to their own mortality.
