Isa Arfen..

It always feels odd to be looking at AW when the pinchpoint decisions for Summer seem so much more pressing. On the flip side I still have my Winter clothes still hanging in my closet making it much clearer to see leaps of faiths, gaps, necessities, worn-outs and Objects of Desire..

The category that Isa Arfen falls straight into.

Graciously engaging it’s like cashmere from the street.

Observations both historical (those gold boots!) and contemporary.

Sharp lines with volume yet precision cut.

There will be much smiling this Autumn!

A mixture of new and found, Isa Arfen is the London-based label started in 2011 by Serafina Sama.

Serafina graduated from Central Saint Martins School of Art & Design in 2006 and has since built up an impressive portfolio of experience: Marni, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, Chloe, Louis Vuitton, Acne and Charlotte Olympia. It shows.

The label captures and enhances the subtle shift in the fashion mood – Soft but with feminine confidence..A walking statement of drama without causing offence.

Serafina says: ‘To me, fashion is about desire, beauty and fun. It’s not about dressing up in a costume. Isa Arfen is about a real woman dressing for her real life and really enjoying it.’
