London Design Festival: Gisella Presents Metallica

February 6, 2025 - February 6, 2025
AUTUMN 2007

“METALLICA: FROM MONOCHROME TO RED”
’METALLICA’ MAKES A COUTURE DEBUT
AT THE LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL 2007
In Association with LMAS & Designers Block London

London Design Festival 2007
As a rather waterlogged London summer draws to a premature close, the designing women of
’Gisella’ prepare to reinfuse Autumn with a splash of metallic vivacity. Collection ’Metallica: From Monochrome To Red’ is set to be a veritable feast of texture and harmonious contrasts.
Taking inspiration from classically feminine lines and a modern industrial consciousness, Gisella’s new couture collection will feature playful juxtapositions of beloved aesthetics: the rough framing the smooth; fluidity complimenting rigidity; and Western aesthetics fused with ethnic essence in signature Gisella style.
Muted and bold metallic silvers and monochrome tones; sequins, stones and seersuckers in silk satins, dupions, chiffons, waxed batiks and chemical guipure will be the staple ingredients of the collection.
Essential extracts framing the concept of ’Metallica: From Monochrome to Red’ will preview at The London Design Festival 2007 in association with Designers Block and LMAS.

GISELLA BOUTIQUE: INNOVATIVE COUTURE IN UNLIKELY PLACES
Peckham, South East London might seem the most unlikely place to ever chance upon a sumptuous palette of elegant couture, but the very existence of Gisella Boutique is a sweet testament to the beauty of anomaly.
Since its London opening in 1991, Gisella Couture and the Gisella-B brand have become reknowned for creating distinct, wearable artistic statements in exquisite textiles from across the globe.
Innovation, fusion and the inspiring interplay between classic lines and contemporary glamour define the Gisella signature. At the heart of it all is a refreshing sense of synthesis and vitality that parallels the intriguing meeting of two generations in this rare creative partnership comprised of mother and daughter.
From the majestic catwalk of The V&A London; media spotlights on MTV and CNN International; to collaborations with The BBC, Hayward Gallery and Mayor Of London, Gisella’s eclectic portfolio echoes a rich texture and variety that is a fitting compliment to their colourfully authentic design spirit.
