LFW Fall Fashion Week Wrapup 2006: Ashley Isham
Send to a friend:
I died and entered Thai heaven. I swear this line was inspired by fashions straight out of Thailand. The Siam dream started with black, white and gray hued dresses. There was a auburn satin dress that I did not fall in love with simply because it was ill-fitting on the model, then Isham rolls out COLOR! Something severly lacking from the fall shows at London were a variety of colors. Elizabeth Lawrence said, Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. Isham must have taken note. There were orange and gold halter evening dresses, models came down the catwalk in black and gold pieces with elaborate headdress and catlike makeup inspired by the far east. It was sensory overload. While not every piece dazzled (oddly, the dresses with the most vivid colors underwhelmed), the design and spectacle more than made up for it.
