Audi Fashion Festival - Ashley Isham


Singapore-bred, London based fashion designer back in his homeland to display his new collection. I am rather disappointed with the collection. Maybe Isham has been too busy of late. The dresses lacked thought and appeared to me as hastily put together. Scroll down to see why...
Looks like something from the Devil Wears Prada, and not in a good sense. I thought the proportions are poor, with the hips and tummy being emphasized. The black stockings underneath the slit is just too stark and the leather gloves are a clash with the gold brooch.
I think this jacket is much much better. The textured woolen material, coupled with the ribbon and silver thread on the left breast is so classy!
This dress looks almost good. But the choice of grey floral prints just ruins the look, like some curtain or something our "ah sohs" will purchase from the wet market.
Again, a flop for me. The belt is so wrong, cutting up the model's body into two. The layering of the mermaid skirt didn't work. An ordinary woman wearing this gown will gain 3 kgs instantly on her hips, not to mention the suggestive inverted V cut.
I like this dress, except for the colour. Why brown, Ashley!!!??
This black and red ensemble works better. Very dramatic entrance guaranteed if you wear this.
Again, that belt ruins the dress.
Sadly the dress lacks fluidity.
