Freaks and Peakes

Obakki for Fall

They say the longer couples are together, the more they resemble each other.

Take Treana and Ryan Peake (Nickelback’s lead guitarist).

She may not be a rock star, but her design label, Obakki, will rock your world. Made of silky-soft lightweight wool and cashmere blends, the fall/winter collection is chockful of standouts and seasonal staples.

Obakki interprets the little black dress two ways: One is asymmetrically gathered up the front and back with a middle seam, and the other has a stand-up cowl neck and half dolman sleeves. A high-waisted, ruched skirt will turn heads; a cowl-neck top will keep you cozy when the leaves start turning. If the garb piques (ha) your interest, you’ll love Obakki’s rustic messenger bag with edgy hardware.

They also say behind every man is a strong woman.

And that’s no wool.

Available at SHE, 1024 West Armitage Avenue, at Kenmore Avenue (773-880-8061 or shopsheboutique.com). To see styles, go to obakki.com.
