When we asked Omar what his newest collection silhouettes and the fabrics he chose to work with said about his brand, he responded "One look features the "9-2-5" tailored hoodie jacket, crafted from deadstock pinstripe wool suiting... This jacket is paired with a wrap skirt layered over a ruffled skirt made from plaid crinkled cotton. This ensemble draws inspiration from my Filipino heritage, specifically the Baro't Saya. The Baro't Saya traditionally consists of four parts: a blouse, a long skirt, a shoulder kerchief, and a short rectangular cloth over the skirt, typically made from Pina silk."
Twisting the classics seems to be a red thread for Moms. "My goal [for other outfits] was to achieve a comfort level similar to wearing a blue Nike Tech fleece tracksuit, aligning with the city's casual atmosphere. I aimed to design an outfit that embodies a laid-back, everyday feel."
In other outfits, things are not quite what they seem. "I ... designed [an outfit for] elegant evening out, offering a sophisticated twist on a casual denim set. Instead of traditional denim, this outfit is crafted from moleskin, providing a refined yet understated feel. I wanted to create something that mirrored familiar pieces in my wardrobe but elevated them to a level of luxury and a hint of extravagance. The jacket is inspired by vintage workwear, but instead of the usual rugged construction, it's lined with silk and quilted."
