Brazilian born designer Daniella Helayel of ISSA London
presented yet another exotic, stylish and wearable collection.
Having built a business on creating luxe looks for the stylish
but not necessarily fashion forward woman, Helayel created
designs which were both bolder and subtler than before.
Inspired by the Navajo Indians ISSA London’s autumn/winter
show was opened by supermodel Cara Delevingne who
sported a eagle print Kaftan over a roll neck with an enormous
floppy hat and pheasant feather plume, setting the tone for
the rest of the collection. The palette of browns, mustards
and forest green which featured in the roll neck jumpers
formed the basis for looks. Outerwear and maxi dresses
were tightly beaded at the waist to add definition to the
silhouette whilst wide leg trousers and loose skirts imitating
the flow of the Colorado River cemented the theme. ISSA’s
signature figure skimming jersey dresses were, of course,
incorporated in the collection in bolder colours, whilst over-
the-shoulder satchel bags were added to create a relaxed finish.
