Nassau, Bahamas - Bold charmuse, satins and silks were the order of the day as ILashan Apparel & Handmade Jewelry ( ILashan) played host to an intimate crowd at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort on April 17. And, the votes are in. ILASHAN’s launch was a resounding success. The review, aptly titled ‘Sundial’, dazzled its audience. The enthused crowd absorbed bold pinks, oranges, purples and blues expertly executed with butterfly-like details all designed and made by newcomer, Indira Moss. “I couldn’t have asked for a better turnout or a better show,” said Ms. Moss. “It was a great night for me.” The Spring/Summer collection of dresses and jewelry takes it cue from the natural colours of the Bahamian skies grasping the hues of our sunrises and sunsets. Both standard and plus-sized models were use to showcase the designs in an attempt to encompass the entire Bahamian female population. A line of cocktail dresses, the 12 pieces introduced a new modeling technique to The Bahamas called platform modeling. In groups of three, models took the stage to become live mannequins changing positions every few minutes allowing the audience the opportunity to take in the designs from every angle. “We wanted to do something different from the standard runway scene people are accustomed to,” she said. “It just seemed appropriate.” While the event met Ms. Moss’ expectations, she admits that her job as a new designer is just beginning. “The chief goal was to get the label’s name out there,” she said. “Now that people know about the brand the next step is to keep momentum high by building on what my team started here.”
About the designer Excelling at the art from a young age, Ms. Moss graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fashion design with a minor in accessory design from the Savannah School of Art and Design (2008) in Savannah, Georgia. After arriving back to New Providence, Ms. Moss signed on as a volunteer for Islands of the World Fashion Week working closely with the designers of the 2009 showcase. Her love of fabrics and textiles is an insatiable passion that is no where life’s work and the only direction for this young designer is up according to her growing fan base. Today, her label, ILashan Apparel & Handmade Jewelry, is making silent waves throughout New Providence. The boutique label is the leading fashion house for woman of innovative style producing designs that define seasonal nods.
