It's our birthday! Watch our ambassadors, friends and fashion family send their birthday wishes and share their memories of David Jones with us.

There is an exotic "thread" in Akira’s Spring Summer collection that takes our spirit to far away places. “It's not just a new season- it's a new decade” Akira.

Akira Isogawa is one of Australia’s most celebrated designers. For his latest Bridal Collection he says, "I wanted to create heavenly pieces with paradise in mind. I translated fabrics to soft and romantic silhouettes, in hope they would make you feel beautiful.”

Preview the pieces from Akira’s Bridal Collection that made his show one of the standouts at MBFW including two stunning gowns that are available now at the David Jones Bridal Boutique and two more arriving in September.

One of Australia's treasured fashion designers who does justice to oriental aesthetics Akira, proved to us all that colour is definitely going to be a strong presence for Spring Summer! The David Jones team was presented with vibrant red, pink, marigold, sky blue and yellow prints. Along with detailed Origami-like folds and sashes that created a modern take on kimonos - It is wearable art!

Bridal at David Jones - Australia’s premier 'by appointment' destination for wedding dresses with an unparallelled assortment of modern bridal fashion from Australian designers including Carla Zampatti, Collette Dinnigan, Alex Perry, Lisa Ho, Akira Isogawa, Johanna Johnson, Karen Willis Holmes, Steven Khalil and Lisa Gowing.

Akira Isogawa’s bridal creations boast architectural beauty alongside soft details. His most recent collection is simple in shape but breathtaking in construction – It features hand-embroidered details and perfectly placed lace. His eastern influence can be seen as the gowns interpret details like origami folds and hand painted silks.

The best way to make a statement this season is by experimenting with print and texture. David Jones General Manager Womenswear, David Bush says: “For me, Winter is all about layering. Instead of the bright, explosive colour we see in Summer, bold, graphic patterns and surface interest are a great way to add interest to your look in Winter." See the gallery of images from the Autumn Winter Fashion Launch where different prints, texture and layers were explored for Carl Kapp, Easton Pearson, Akira, Collette Dinnigan and Jac+Jack.
