“There’s an incredible buzz about taking on an individual show at RAFW this year. Lisa Blue is like my third child, and sending all the combined creativity out there on the runway is the next step on the design journey.

Support here and in the US has been incredible and it’s our aim that with every passing year that Lisa Blue will continue to grow as a brand and with customers who are passionate about our greater cause, whale and dolphin conservation.”

Perspective Apparel builds itself on the idea “the difference between style and fashion is perspective.”

This interesting concept came to life of the runways of FACE Fashion to prove that there is more to sexed-up style than sparkles and sleek cuts.

The collections shown could be looked at with the perspective that they are casual and perfect for lazing or that they are an opportunity to express yourself and be eccentric with dressing.

Perspective Apparel is not limited to one sex, and it’s open-for-interpretation concept that can be seen in each stitch demonstrates that this is a brand of clothing that can be fun and exciting to wear
