| Eyola’s Brand |
Established in London in 2008, Eyola Fashion House looks beyond the fleeting fashions of the day, forging a new silhouette and a new system of fashion. At the heart of the fashion house is the hallmark of the brand – its 19th century Victorian heritage – serving beyond a design influence to also become the fundamental ingredient behind Eyola’s brand philosophy.
The nineteenth century was an era that championed innovation, flamboyance, art, invention, philosophy, craftsmanship, the birth of haute couture; all of which the Eyola brand evokes. Akin to the evolution of fashion during the 19th century, Eyola takes a stand for a new era of fashion, liberating women from the constraints of the mass production of luxury goods and readjusting fashion’s bi-annual collections by replacing it with more frequent, smaller, eight-piece capsule collections called ‘Octettes’. The Octette, an homage to the figure-8 (hourglass) silhouette created by Victorian corsets, brings a much needed new perspective on fashion in the same vein as fashion pioneers Charles Worth, Paul Poiret, Gabrielle Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli.
