Issa has named Jamie O’Hare as creative director. O’Hare, whose CV includes posts at MaxMara, Chloe and Roberto Cavalli as well as head of design at Issa since 2013, will present his first collection for the label during London Fashion Week, which is just weeks away. “Jamie has a great understanding of the Issa brand values, and is dedicated to its evolution. I feel huge excitement about the future,” Issa chairwoman Camilla Al Fayed. As for O’Hare himself, he said that he feels honoured to be leading “such a talented design team.” We are looking forward to seeing Issa’s autumn/winter offering with much verve and would also like to wish Jamie hearty congratulations on this appointment
