Isham’s signature strong tailoring and draping are
prevalent throughout his latest SS15 collection, shown at Fashion Scout. Known
for his great ability to combine high-octane glamour with contemporary style,
Isham used the legendary courtesan Mata Hari as his inspiration, drawing on her
half Indonesian and half Dutch heritage.
Isham presents an eclectic collection, opening with
elegant dresses adorned with Indian gold embellishments using silk, and jersey
that has a liquid like quality, providing the collection with an eloquent
fluidity. The Moroccan inspired silhouettes consisted of floor length dresses
with long trains and slits running throughout the collection.
The contemporary side of the collection was evident
in the second half. The models wore modern, crisp silhouettes and the handcrafted
qualities became even more apparent. Sports wear style garments were
incorporated with sharp tailoring and colourful floral prints, giving the
collection a modern twist whilst keeping its opulent edge. Golden visors and
extravagant headwear kept the initial inspiration running throughout the show.
The collection overall screams sophistication and
has a diverse range of garments, whilst also keeping in with Isham’s signature
style. A collection that celebrates femininity and beauty.
