It is rare a designer’s actual name gives you a clue as to what kind of clothes they create. But then Poppy Lissiman is a rare kind of designer: she’s unabashedly bright, bold and cheekily colourful with her clothes.
This young womenswear creator is taking the country by storm… well, if that storm was really bright and happy and wearable. Now, the typhoon that is Lissiman has found a home in Claremont. Think Cistine frescos full of angelic beauty adorning the walls and ceilings; depictions of clouds and sky that provide a serene break from the acid brights and new-gen digitally printed gowns and sun frocks.
Lissiman has also gathered together a bevvy of like-minded labels such as Mara Hoffman and the equally acid-bright Cambridge Satchel Co (the must-have bag this season). This refreshing frenzy of fashion is this summer’s must-see shop.
