New York City-based Isaora has only been around since 2009, but the technically proficient brand has succeeded in making a name for itself in that short span. Keys to its growth was recognizing a deficiency in the marketplace for beautifully sleek designs that meet rigorous performance demands, as well as a thorough understanding of its customer — a “global citizen with a taste for adventure.” Isaora’s lookbook for Fall/Winter 2012 continues the brand’s impressive run, presenting down-filled jackets, technical shells, insulated button-downs and thermal knits, all finished in a tasteful neutral color palette dominated by blacks and greys.
