Inspirations are hedonistic Mediterranean summers and
traditional European art and design
– a heady mix of sensual and contemporary.
The Mediterranean
inspiration appeared to be of ancient Greece and Rome with the asymmetrical dress
and gentle folds skimming the body. Crepe
jersey caressed the body in jewel colours of sapphire blue and citrine yellow, and
the metallic platinum. Whilst chiffon
floated gracefully in an air of muted bronze and pink tourmaline. Not a lover
of shimmering crepe jersey, the chiffon was more appealing and especially the colour
popping paisley pattern. When you think of paisley, you usually conjure up
colours of muted green or burgundy. Here Isham has injected his paisley with
bright pinks and blues giving an essence of India which is of course where the
paisley pattern originated from. The embellishments of gilded gold and platinum
around the neckline take inspiration from the delicate craftsmanship of the
Rococo period.
Moving away from the fluid jersey fabrics and the floaty
chiffons, Isham brings a more modern opulence with the laser cut embossed
foiled napa leather dress and skirt.
