You Better Recognise!

Well known for her theatrical sense of fashion and sultry voice, British singer-songwriter and actress Paloma Faith poses for the cover of Recognise Magazine in Obakki.  Think Amy Winehouse’s soulful music crossed with Gina Davis’ fiery beauty, add a touch of burlesque-hollywood glam and you’ve got Paloma.

Paloma is seen on the cover wearing our SS10 best selling Juno dress (now available in Dark Grey and Cement). Already sold out once before, it’s been flying off our racks so fast we’ve made more just for you.  Giving you a little teaser of what’s to come for Fall, Paloma wears our leather band Maxi dress. To get a sneak peek, check out our Fall / Winter Fashion Show photos on our blog and on Facebook.

Catch a behind-the-scenes video of Paloma’s hit “Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful” below.

Prêt-A-Pour-Tea Breast Cancer Fundraiser @ Obakki

Obakki hosted the Prêt-A-Pour-Tea fundraiser and fashion show last Tuesday May 18th, 2010.  Prêt-A-Pour-Tea is an ongoing event that benefits research for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) as well as supporting local haute couture.  The CBCF’s ambitious goal is to eliminate breast cancer by the year 2020. In light of this goal, Obakki helped launch Prêt-A-Pour-Tea’s fundraising project where 2020 photos will be collected for an inspiring collage by local Vancouver artist, Pamela Masik. For more information on how to support the cause, go to http://pretapourtea.com/.

Our fashion show was a big hit, featuring our current Spring / Summer 2010 line. Thank you MJ from around the way for posting this video!
