Isossy

Nearly 20 years ago Amanda Rabor was selling contemporized African influenced clothing, jewellery and cushions on Camden Market with her sister and friend. Flying Start explores how her talent for fashion is still going strong in 2012 with the pioneering Isossy Children’s wear label.

Once you enter the Isossy world, you will be hooked. More to the point, so will your children!
This fantastic range of contemporary designed fashion will inspire your children to develop their own identity and individuality with a magnificent choice of vibrant colours influenced by Africa and Asia.

Items from Isossy are limited editions with anything between 10-100 pieces of any one print, so your children can feel special and stand out from the crowd.

So how did the Isossy label begin?

Amanda Rabor has always been passionate about creating children’s clothing and designing unusual pieces.  Her past experiences working on Camden Market and with a small business Culture Kids were her learning ground and build up to the Isossy concept. Amanda says “The experience of doing Culture Kidz was invaluable to me. I had a lot of support and I learnt the basics”. Amanda’s global perspective comes from her Nigerian father and Trinidadian mother who raised the family internationally in NYC and later London.

Amanda describes the style of her designs in three diverse collections. Isossy play is easy, casual, playful daywear. Isossy Classic is ladylike, formal, classic, ‘little ladies who lunch!’ and Isossy Occasions is for more formal occasions such as weddings, first communions and parties.

Isossy have had plenty of coverage in the press, featuring exclusively in magazines such as Close Up, You, Ankora and New African Woman.
