Issa
The tent was pulsating with the techno remix of Guns and Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine as Issa’s Spring 2007 collection of feminine-sexy frocks hit the runway.
Brazilian-born Daniella Helayel launched Issa in 2001 with the hopes of creating a quintessential go-to dress. And he must be doing something right, as Issa is now sold at London hot-shops like Harvey Nichol’s and Selfridges, and worn by A-listers like Scarlett Johansson and Madonna.
For Spring 2007, Issa stays true to Helayel’s original quest for the it dress. Silk jersey dresses in animal print provided a refreshing take on Diane von Furstenberg’s classic wrap. And, Grecian-inspired, floor-length gowns, as well as sparkling flirty cocktail dresses, aim to make their way from the beach, to the office, to the after-party.
The color palette was a mix of bold blue, yellow and a combination of black. The embodiment of effortless modern chic, the collection is not only completely wearable, but interchangeable as well (so mix and match all you like ladies)!
Janet Collin
It’s only a matter of time before up-and-coming talent Janet Collin’s trademark crest becomes as recognized on handbags as Burberry’s plaid is on the lining of raincoats.
Collin began a love affair with design ten years ago while still in school, and after a solid career in product design, took a leap of faith launching her own line of handbags.
Now in its third season, Janet Collin handbags are largely influenced by the Middle Ages, while her current collection is inspired by the pinnacle of all romantic tales, Tristan and Isolde. Collin’s inspiration arose from the secret affair between the two lovers, echoed by hidden compartments and pockets tucked away in each of her bags.
While she may draw inspiration from the Middle Ages, Janet Collin’s line is certainly not stuck in the past. Her embossed leathers come in a range of rich colors and must-have metallics and the custom designed hardware made the line even more unique and bag-a-licious.
