In 2005, Australia honoured Akira Isogawa as a fashion legend with the release of his portrait on a stamp.
Akira who moved from Kyoto to Sydney in 1986 has become one of Australia’s most celebrated designers.
For me, what is so exciting about his work is the inspiration he draws from Japanese influences. I love his choice of colour combinations and textured looks.
“A garment can transcend, giving it a soul.
I translate fabrics into soft and romantic silhouettes, using natural fabrics like silks and cottons, which are kind to the skin.”

This photograph by ZylemCries of the textures and colours in Akira’s work is inspirational. It makes you also want to touch and feel the exquisite designs.
