Ong-Oaj Paraim AW15 Menswear

Ong-Oaj Paraim always veers towards the glamorous and sophisticated corner of fashion and his AW15 collection is no different except this time ‘Too Much is Never Enough!’  
AW15 sees the celebration of the iconic pop culture and celebrity status in all its oversized excessive glamorous indulgence and luxurious glory.
For day to evening, the Bomber jacket took centre stage on the red carpet.


Looking warm, cosy and chic was the super soft shearling bomber jacket in silver grey.  Tortoise shell sunglasses by Kirk

Next up was the metallic jacquard leather bomber jacket, shimmering with every movement as though caught under the flashing bulbs of the paparazzi.

Bringing out all the glamour guns was the aviator style bomber jacket in supple metallic gold leather with contrasting grape coloured satin raglan sleeves and an oversized removable fur trimmed hood. All jackets were worn with grey wool trousers with black side stripes, chunky rubber soled shoes in sparkling metallic gold leather and a black dress shirt with pleated bib front.

For the seriously glamorous evening wear it was the dinner jacket’s turn in the spot light:


In a monochrome camera print with black velvet notch lapels, this dinner jacket was worn with matching trousers, shirt and bow tie. The monochrome camera print is a nod to the stars of the silver screen.

Metallic leather jacquard dinner jacket with velvet shawl collar worn with large butterfly bow tie in matching print.

Purple velvet smoking jacket with exaggerated wide black satin lapels.  A notch lapel with the curved qualities of a shawl collar.

Standing out in the fashion crowd and the ultimate in this luxurious collection was the metallic gold leather coat with fur collar.

All the bowties are collaboration with Hawkins and Shepherd who developed a range using Ong’s AW15 prints.

Ong-Oaj Paraim SS15 Menswear


For SS15, Ong-Oaj Paraim was inspired by his fragmented memories of growing up alongside his family’s Noodle factory in Nakhon Ratichasima, Thailand. Memories that Ong-Oaj pieced together with a dream like logic.


Colour palette is inspired by the vivid pinks, greens and blues of the local street food markets and pastel hues faded by the tropical sun.


With his family’s noodle factory in mind, utilitarian functional workwear is present with boiler suits and parkas in luxurious fabrics and in shades of candy pinks, blues and mint green.



Prints range from the delicate Cherry Blossom....


... to the bolder pattern featuring Chinese symbols and tropical goldfish surrounded by Baroque style frames - East meets West.


Inspired by the lucky goldfish bowl outside the family's factory, Ong-Oaj designed a tropical fish print for his leather sleeved trench coat (1st image) and full suit.(above image).


Brought up surrounded by many different oriental cultures and traditions, Japanese and Chinese influence can be seen in the collection. Above print features rows of Samurai warriors in silhouette softened by pastel hues. Sandals and mocassins also have a touch of Japanese inspiration with hand painted designs and Samurai style stitching.

Ong-Oaj Pairam Autumn/Winter 2014 - Menswear Capsule Collection

This AW14 season, Ong-Oaj Pairam added a men’s capsule wardrobe to complement his womenswear collection.

Ong was inspired by Disney super villains and the markings on dangerous animals, but also kept in the mix his love of the 1950’s way of dressing.  His colour palette ranged from the toxic brights of acid yellow, oranges, blues and greens, warning us of danger, to the more subdued monochrome of blacks and greys.

 But don’t be fooled by the monochrome palette. On closer inspection this seemingly innocent stripe print shows a row of crocodiles and leopards lurking and ready to pounce.


And from afar, this print may look like dogstooth, but in reality it is a collection of silhouettes of the poison dart frog, you could say it is a 'frogstooth' pattern.. Ong also designed the suede shoes, using snakeskin print in metallic blue and gold leather on the tips.

The brightly coloured jackets were embellished with hand embroidered leopard prints in tonal shades.  Some just scattered on the collar or hemline and sleeve cuffs, whilst others covered the whole body of the jacket.
Dangerous has never looked so dapper!

Ong-Oaj Pairam’studio is based in Brighton and for bespoke pieces from the collection email for more information on info@ong-oajpairam.com
