For the viewer, the exhibition will be an immersive voyage through a five month creative process where as the individual moves through the space, abstract ideas achieve concrete manifestation culmination in the finished garments. The creative process, which is not normally accessible to the public will be revealed through garments, paper and calico prototypes and objects of inspiration.
Akira Isogawa was born in Japan but immigrated to Australia. He began designing garments in 1986 and the first collection, inspired by the avant garde Japanese dance movement Butoh was launched in 1994. Isogawa work received major attention and he became one of the pivotal forces in Australian fashion after his spring/ summer 1996/97 range was shown at the inaugural Mercedes Australian Fashion Week in 1996. Isogawa
has received numerous awards from the Australian Fashion Industry including Womenswear Designer of the year and Designer of the Year awards in 1999.
