On October 3rd, ISA BOULDER showcased its debut runway collection, "Hardcore Handmade," at Paris Fashion Week in the Marais. This collection reflects the brand's deep commitment to craftsmanship and emphasizes the beauty of taking one's time to create unique pieces. Inspired by Bali, where the brand is located, it draws from the sounds of waves and the transition from beachside casual to evening sophistication. The collection features elegant eveningwear dresses, versatile layer-able pieces, and the brand's signature satiny swimwear.
The brand's signature argyle pattern is prominent in various garments, and each season, they focus on a new knitwear technique, with SS24 featuring macramé. The satiny fabric is cleverly woven to create an armor-like texture in dresses, skirts, bodysuits, gloves, and sandals, inspired by Balinese woven palm leaves. "Parachute" fabric in pale green, beige, and black adds a sense of lightness, contrasting with the handwoven materials. The earth-toned color palette includes browns, grays, ecru, and khaki, with hints of colors reminiscent of the brand's popular swimwear.
ISA BOULDER also introduced a range of accessories, such as shoes and bags, seamlessly integrated into the overall look rather than as external additions. The satiny fabrics shine in small shoulder bags and macramé low and tall sandals.
