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 feature exquisite, handmade embellishments designed to accentuate the beauty in imperfection. They aim to create an organic look with a complex blend of textures, colors and detail while employing socially- and environmentally-sound materials and practices. Angie and Maggie first met Mandalyn as undergraduates at Dartmouth College, and all three are currently finishing their fashion design degrees at FIDM San Francisco. Their first collection, entitled "Bedouin Princesses," revisits the dress of some mythical heroines adding a touch of oda and a modern twist. Their current collection entitled "One Threesome of Stone" incorporates aspects of their heritage, Native American and Korean into a modern fairytale wardrobe.
