Ashley Isham AW17 Mens Collection

Isham’s inspiration for Autumn Winter 17/18 came from the Japanese poet Matsuo Basho. Evoking a Rhapsody of a Southern Winter’s Night of a distant world just beyond the horizon with its exotic long languorous enchanted evening that’s stark, yet gilded with a freshness created by hand embroidery.

This season welcomes bold hues including sunset orange, regal amethyst, deep blue, olive khaki and opulent gold.

 It is sophisticated yet fresh, almost dreaming often through rose-tinted glasses.

 This season, Ashley’s tailoring is built on cut, shape and craft that is modern and youthful.

A bold leopard print hides prowling tigers

For this special occasion, three limited edition bespoke vivid colours prints were created.
Called Starry Nights, this print is in gold and black combination

 Regal Azalea print in purple and white. White Azaleas represent healing and warding off negative energy, whilst purple represents pride, dignity and success

and Winter Chrysanthemum in a rainbow of  colours

Sumptuous velvet is teamed with fine knitwear, giving a languid lounge look

whilst supple leather shackets skim the torso are teamed with check trousers ready for the outdoors.
