At its core, Ishmael Tsakatsa's Paris Fashion Week collection featured emerging trends for the spring summer 2022 season, revealing light textiles and rich colors palette of earth tone brown, orange, pink, crème, and baroque inspired prints.
Themed “Stones of Fire,” it took Tsakatsa almost a year to create from first sketch to fabric selection, pattern making, and last stitch.
