SAFW A/W15 - SIES! Isabelle


Isabelle Lotter is famous for her ability to create timeless clothing that, in her own words, "compliments a woman rather than eclipses her".  Her latest collection continued her philosophy but added layers of fabric combining texture and pattern.  Although she referred to the range as "gypsyesque" - we felt a better description would have been "Game Of Thrones meets Robin Hood".  Unstructured felt peasant-style shoes added to the overall look.

Possibly the most striking gown in the collection was the plaited/sheer dress incorporating tree branches. Although certainly creative - practical would not be apt when describing this dress.  But Fashion Week is all about stretching boundaries and, as the first night drew to a close, we all went home with a sense that this season's Fashion Week had certainly kicked off with a bang.
