Issa is a retail apparel and fashion brand known for feminine, colorful, glamorous designs that aim to provide a versatile wardrobe. While its origins trace back to London, the company is based in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, and it reaches customers through wholesale channels with more than 200 stockists worldwide, supported by a vibrant ecommerce platform and a free-standing boutique in Tokyo. Over time, the brand has expanded beyond its core offerings to include tailoring, outerwear, and separates as part of a shift toward a lifestyle-oriented product lineup. Ownership has evolved since Issa’s founding, with Camilla Al-Fayed taking a controlling stake in 2011 and later acquiring full ownership in 2013, guiding the business through a development phase that included the Pre-Fall 2014 collection and Issa’s first standalone London Fashion Week runway show in February 2014. The company has pursued international growth, with planned openings such as a store in Riyadh in early 2015, and it has engaged in industry collaborations, including a 2013 partnership with a fashion-illustration gallery and Christie’s to showcase its exhibition.
