Minhua considers fashion as art; combining innovative techniques and qualitative materials by mixing different kind of cuts and colours. This makes Lysandre G.L to one of the most outspoken French brands of our time.

 “Create drama in fashion, the ability to transform ordinary objects into an everlasting piece of art.”

Manish Arora

Paris Fashion Week

Do you love insane prints, abundant use of contrasting fabrics and divergent shapes? Then you definitely have to check out Manish Arora, a brand founded in 1997 with Indian roots. (PS: this one is our founder’s favourite given her Indian heritage)

Manish Arora’s playful style owes its originality to Indian nature, music and culture. The fashion or rather works of art, he brings radiates summer, happiness but also self-confidence. Due to its popularity, Manish Arora already has numerous collaborations to his name. Some of them with famous brands like Reebok, Nespresso and Disney.

Marques Almeida

Marques Almeida is a British womenswear brand existing out of two talented Portuguese designers: Marta Marques and Paulo Almeido which was established in 2011.

If AISPI had to describe this brand in three words that would be: Rough, contemporary and distinctive.

Marques Almeida’s latest collection took inspiration from their home roots with traditional brocade prints with a hints of bright pink, a nodding to the London punk scene. These were all complimented with the signature raw edge denim and leather pieces. What is also striking is the frequent use of oversized clothing.
