OCTOGONY

Name: OCTOGONY Women
Brand: OCTOGONY

Initiated by a group of women passionate about art and fashion, Charbel Abou Zeidan was chosen as Creative Director at Brussels-based label OCTOGONY and has delivered a line of sleek leather goods that are as chic as they are impeccably made. Geometric and minimal, these leather accessories boast sharp lines inspired by the sixties and, specifically, the octangle — a hybrid figure somewhere between an oval and a rectangle. It comes from the Fosbury & Sons building, a famous landmark in the Belgian capital whose visionary architecture stands out for its honeycomb effect and unique windows. Fascinated by the brutalist style and originally educated as an architect, Charbel Abou Zeidan chose to draw inspiration from this singular construction. In silhouettes, clasps, or small but clever details, the octangle enlivens the timeless creations from OCTOGONY. It's behind the simple but refined forms of the label's jewelry as well, and it can also be found in the line of mini-bags most recently signed by Zeidan. Style and practicality here go hand in hand with these functional models, which are often also adjustable. To be worn around the neck, across the body, or at the waist like a banana bag, these handbags and clutches come in rich hues and tempting textures, from the braided to the perfectly smooth. In the true OCTOGONY spirit, it's an opportunity to play on contrast and proportions, all while looking sharp as can be.
