Shoppers at ODEL this festive season have more than an eyeful of Retro-inspired, vintage glamour for ODEL’s Retro Glam festive collection is infused with style cues from the 60’s, 70’s and 80s.

Drawing inspiratio­n from internatio­nal catwalk giants such as Marni, Giorgio Armani, Marc Jacobs, Hasan Hejazi and Moschino, ODEL’s Retro Glam collection takes you back to an era of opulence –a time of mirror balls, tinsel curtains, strobe lights and bright neon colours; a time when over the top sequined dresses, feather boas, power shoulders, and metallic suits reigned!

The predominan­t colours used in ODEL’s Retro Glam collection include violet in all its glorious hues, shades of pink, seductive midnight hues, while the traditiona­l festive colours of gold and silver have not been forgotten. Retro fabrics used are those of shimmering pleats, metallic foils, glittering sequins, velvet and silks, all in line with the spirit, look and feel of the festive season.

To complete the outfit, there’s jewellery from Odel’s Retro Collection from BACKSTAGE. The Men’s and Children’s department­s also feature an extensive collection of the Retro Glam theme to ensure that the entire family is catered for.
