Beautifully illustrated and with more than 50 garments, it explores the background, inspirations, impulses and cultural references that have contributed to the making of a fashion original. Born in Kyoto, Japan, Akira arrived in Australia as a young man and launched his fashion label in Sydney in 1996. Over 25 years Akira Isogawa's signature East West fusion, manipulation of fabric, form and a distinctive 'fold' design element, have captivated fashion audiences around the world
