Modern Safari Style for the Sophisticated Woman
Issa London, known for Catherine Middleton's royal blue wrap dress worn at her engagement announcement, is a brand that captivates discerning individuals with its beauty and elegant designs suitable for day or night. Banana Republic, on the other hand, offers sophisticated items for the refined adult at accessible prices.
The newly unveiled Banana Republic Issa London collection features a fusion of Banana Republic's signature relaxed elegance and Issa London's feminine silhouettes, along with striking prints. The collection is rich in graceful presence and captivating colors, perfectly suited for the transition from summer to autumn. The lineup includes approximately 40 items, from dresses adorned with zebra and leopard prints to embossed leather clutches, encompassing both apparel and accessories.
Simon Nankervis, Creative Director and EVP of Design at Banana Republic, commented, "Soon after we began working on the collection together, we decided to make 'safari,' which Banana Republic carries as a brand, our concept. We are confident that Issa London's elegant style, wearable day or night, will be appreciated by our active customers around the world."
This marks Issa London's first collaboration with a global retailer. The collection launched simultaneously worldwide on Thursday, August 8th, and will be available at all Banana Republic stores in Japan, including the online store.
