Jordan Dalah established his eponymous label after graduating from the Womenswear course at Central Saint Martins in 2017. Dalah temporarily moved back to Sydney, where he is from, with the plan to develop part of the collection there and then return to London. However, after realising how much he enjoyed being a small independent designer in Sydney and feeling a sense of purpose and responsibility in using the local resources that are available, he stayed.
Jordan Dalah aims to bring historic codes of dressing into a contemporary space. Inspired by the dramatic silhouettes found in theatre costume, the young designer finds ways to balance this with the simplicity of everyday dress. It’s this relationship between theatricality and wearability that brings two worlds together to create new and more contemporary silhouettes.
