Daniella Helayel is the Brazilian-born designer behind
Issa. According to her (incredibly fun) website, she states:
"Most of my team are women and we all try on each and every design. We all have different tastes, body shapes and styles. If a dress doesn't please all of us, I tear up the pattern."And luckily for us, this has translated into several Muslimah-friendly oufit ideas. Loose layers comprising of blazers, tunics and wide leg trousers, and floaty maxi dresses were some of the looks featured in the Issa Spring 2009 collection. Helayel spiced up cool shades of blue with statement jewellery including earrings, brooches and necklaces. I for one love the chic simplicity of the first two looks here. Which is your favourite?
