When newly-emerged designers take the leap from the cocooned environment of university into the real-life fashion industry, it can often take many months, even years, to get their work recognised and showcased through any format. Not so for talented and determined newcomer Lisa Wynne, whose Japonisme collection snapped up a stockist within weeks of its public debut at last year’s National College of Art & Design fashion show.

When one actually views Lisa’s creations, however, they can quickly understand how her debut already fits in perfectly with the polished vibe of the Design Centre’s experienced counterparts, showing immense attention to detail – particularly for a graduate collection (her stream-lined labels even feature a compelling quote, by innovative 20th century Japanese writer Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, who was a great source of inspiration for Wynne).
