A T-shirt, a pair of jeans and a leather jacket — this is the uniform of the ultimate New York woman, according to Louis Terline, who cofounded Oak with Jeff Madalena. Inspired by the powerful woman populating the city, the designers developed a range of urban essentials, including an oversized puffer worn over a denim asymmetric double-breasted jacket; a tailored camel coat layered under a leather vest; and a narrow front-button denim skirt with a feminine bow at the belt. A workwear inspiration echoed in a jumpsuit with utility pockets, while a cropped ribbed wool sweater had a Nineties’ vibe. The lineup, which also included paper-bag-waist corduroy pants and zippered hoodies, offered a wearable wardrobe that also tapped into the current streetwear trend.
