The OC OSCAR CALVO menswear label is aimed at the sleek and stylish guy not afraid to make a statement.  Founded in 2004 by Melbourne designer Oscar Calvo,  this is definitely a label to watch.  It is fresh and exciting with quirky prints and a modern take on the retro.

Calvo’s first collection was launched in March 2005 where the collection featured a high end tailored street look with hoods, and graphic tops made from quality fabrics.  He participarted in the first monthly fashion shows at the new Melbourne landmark, Federation Square, in March 2005.  He was also a finalist  at the Mercedez Benz Start Up Program in 2005, and in November of the same year was one of the ten top finalists to return as a Representative at the End of Year Designer Showcase, where he won the audience poll for Designer of The Year.

In June 2007 in the arts precinct side of Johnston Street, Collingwood, Oscar Calvo opened his flagship boutique.  There you’ll find his collection of clothing, as well as footwear and accessories.

‘The boutique is also a specialist fashion district.  A space dedicated to the unique; eye-catching and avant garde of young Australian men’s and women’s fashion. It will have an eclectic mix of the past, present, and future designers.’

In the words of Oscar Calvo:

‘For the OC man it’s easy to go from the beach to the dance floor.  He indulges himself with a never-ending party wardrobe, wearing multi-functional clothes like cool double-button floral shirts in a mix of melon, grass green and vibrant red, paired with a slim linen blazer and skinny pants.  Fine merino wool button-up v-necks matched back with little low rider soft silk shorts that are loud and fastened with thin leather belts or silk ties.’
