Heart shaped symbols abound 

Blessings, messages and jokes that students write on each other’s year book are woven on to wool.

Assignment books that Taiwan schools use for homework and school supplies are used as accessories.

Use of denim and plain weave expresses the student’s trend to alter their uniforms

Colours include fluorescent pink and sunny yellow.

Headpiece made from faux fur to create that dynamic and unique student hairstyle look inherited from Jerry Lo’s style.

Shoes are inspired from the student’s favourite canvas style. Using coloured soles from the unique brand MIKI combined with canvas and metallic leather

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.
