Amazon Launches Exclusive Capsule Fashion Collection Designed by Osman
Luxembourg, 16th November 2014: Amazon has unveiled its exclusive capsule collection by fashion designer, Osman, at www.amazon.co.uk/osman. The collection is available to pre-order from today and deliveries will be made from 23rd November.
The collection reflects Osman’s renowned signature style of structured shapes and tailored detailing and comprises a unisex tuxedo jacket £150, A-line dress £150, skirt £120, festive jumper £95, and a statement necklace in three colourways, £40.
Talking about his designs Osman explained, “The main inspiration for the collection was Christmas and the party season but I wanted to create designs which are timeless and versatile so they can we worn at any time. The pieces are a fun take on my mainline collection and the integrity of the Osman brand is consistent.
“My favourite pieces are the unisex jacket and the jumper, probably because this is the first time I’ve created pieces I can wear myself! The necklaces are also really exciting as I used 3D printing to manufacturer them - I love seeing fashion and technology come together in this way. I also wanted to support local craftsmanship and the majority of the pieces were produced in England.”
“Osman is an extremely talented designer and the quality of this collection is testament to his expert eye, attention to detail, and insistence on high standards” said Sergio Bucher, VP Amazon Fashion EU. “Since the start of the year we’ve added more than 100 new brands to Amazon Fashion and it’s a great end to the year to make this collection available exclusively to Amazon Fashion customers.”

About Osman
Osman, the eponymous label from London-based Osman Yousefzada, made its London Fashion Week debut in 2008. Deeply rooted in the creative worlds of both art and fashion, Osman’s unique architectural aesthetic and strong, sculptural designs both flatter and celebrate the woman’s body, qualities which have established the designer as one of London’s most exciting talents. Inspired by his interest in abstract art, ethnicity, and the costume of ancient cultures, Osman similarly excels in his bold use of colour and hand-drawn print. Osman’s fan base has expanded to include a plethora of famous names, including Beyoncé, Emily Blunt and Gwyneth Paltrow.
