While I didn't manage to have a personal conversation with Akira Isogawa I did have the pleasure of hearing Akira and Robyn Healy in conversation last week.
Not quite an interview, but more an informal conversation between Akira and Robyn, it was inspiring to hear Akira talk about his career, techniques and motivations in such a relaxed and personal way. While he made no bones about how tough fashion can be Akira truly seemed to revel in the joy of making clothes and was thrilled to pull out beading samples for his upcoming collection and explain to a wrapped audience exactly how the were created.
Not a 'classic' Akira but I have always loved the colour and drape of this dress.
