To be able to design good clothes is one thing, but to be able to design extraordinary clothes is another (that is very much needed in the glamorous world of high fashion). A Lebanese designer, Issa Hesso, may be so underrated now, but his exquisite craftmanship may lead him to go further in his career.
Hesso named his spring 2021 collection THE REBIRTH; and although it’s not clarified what is the meaning behind THE REBIRTH, one of his Instagram posts is a picture of a quote, that goes: “She will rise from the ashes of her mistakes like a bird, and become legend”. It’s best to assume the quote describes his spring 2021 collection – a collection that is meant to empower women by ‘rebirth’ of strength, actions, and mindset.
When I look at THE REBIRTH, I see nothing more than a perfect, brilliant, dramatic portrayal of bloodthirsty warrior queens. I see a glimpse of vengeance, an unbending pride, the power and the victory. I’ll be disappointed if Hesso never gets hired to do the costumes for fantasy movies or shows. He’s so talented and I’m looking forward to the day he gets more acclamation.
