TWO WORDS. ASHLEY ISHAM.

If you are familiar with his work you will know what a privilege it was for me to be able to attend his AW15 show for the second season running! Isham is always a highlight at Fashion Scout, and I got that giddy feeling just before the lights went down and the show was about to start as to what spectacular creations Ashley had in store for us!


What I love about Ashley Isham is that his collections tell a story. This season the inspiration for the collection is the creative life of a nomadic wanderer. It is a story about an aristocratic woman who is left broken-hearted and embarks on a journey of personal freedom to find herself again….

This collection showcases Ashley’s illustrious couture glamour, each piece unique and carefully crafted. Yet once again he seems to get the balance just right so that it still feels completely wearable (with exception to a couple of headpieces!)

The collection has a romanticism and avante-garde feel to it that is omnipresent in Ashley’s work, and I can’t help but feel transported to somewhere mysterious. The layering of heavy fabrics on decorative gowns in autumnal hues and ruching and plaiting of material gives the collection a roughness to it that hints at the nomadic nature of the collection.

Once again Ashley’s won us over! It can’t get better than this…can it?!
