OCELOT clothing

SAN FRANCISCO ETHNOGRAPHIC STYLE

Ocelot is inspired by culture, landscape, tradition and innovation.

The bold artistic style and international culture of the Bay area bring many incredible women, and men, through the doors of OCELOT. In the showroom, they may find a piece that seems made for them, or combine several pieces in their own unique way. Layered, OCELOT becomes art on the body, moving, fluid, and functional.

Many adventurous women appreciate Ocelot is for travelling. Artists, designers, and professionals covet the expression of spirit that Ocelot clothes embody.

OCELOT clothing has traveled around the world, worn by Joan Baez in her 2003 European-American Tour,and has been exhibited nationally and internationally in Canada, Chile, England, and Japan. OCELOT  was also seen in the film 'Six Feet Under'. See PRESS for publications.

Ocelot designs express the power of nature with their bold patterns, creating a tactile and luminous landscape on the figure. The designs are inspired by a rich world historyof traditional textiles and vernacular dress. Layering the versatile styles, like the wrap or shrug, blends beauty with practicality.

Each piece goes through a three-day dye process to create the hand-dyed itajime patterns.

The garments are made of natural fibers. All of Ocelot's clothing is designed, dyed, and constructed in the Ocelot studio in San Francisco.

Angelina does most all of the photography herself. Friends, clients, and family model Ocelot in urban landscapes that seem like far away places.

FREDDI IN OCELOT

My neighbor Freddi zips by me on her bicycle, boldly dressed in her own innovations of a felted sweater wrapped around her jeans as an over-skirt, and elaborate head wraps making her look like an urban gypsy. I shout, "hey Freddi," and she gracefully swoops around and swings her extended leg over the frame like a gazelle. Going to Freddis' home is always a treat, not only because we trade body work for Ocelot, but because we enjoy sipping tea from her mother's alabaster cups and eating her homemade baklava.
