Need to investigate..

~

According to JHONNATAN HERNANDEZ-BONOLA, AKIRA IS THE FACE OF THE NEXT BIG CONVERGENCE in the fashion industry- ART AND FASHION

with a brief like this i tend to agree;

Bright, clear colors in weightless, flowing fabrics like silk, chiffon and the
lightest velvets are adorned with exquisite details drawing inspiration from
contemporary Japanese design. Translating fabrics into soft, romantic
silhouettes.

 "A garment can transcend, giving it a soul."

Akira Isogawa is one of this country’s most celebrated and successful fashion designers. Born in Kyoto in 1964, he moved to Australia at the age of 21 to study fashion at the Sydney Institute of Technology and opened his first boutique, in Sydney’s Woollahra, in 1993. He has been a regular fixture at Australia ever since

PHILOSOPHY

"I see craftsmanship as an implement with which to realise one’s vision. Past, present and future; that slogan continues in almost everything around which my work evolves. Timeless beauty and femininity in my design is profound, in a way for the wearer to express their inner soul."
