Issa is always a packed out show - famed for its glamorous, flamboyant and memorable pieces - and this year is no exception, so t5m caught up with the woman behind it all, Daniella Helayel.

Daniella jokes that she wishes she could sit in the front row of her shows and admire all of her hardwork, rather than standing in the back and making sure all the models are dressed!

We managed to spot some fabulous colours whilst we were backstage - including lots of blacks, whites and gunmetals - as well as more tropical yellows and greens - Daniella explains that her inspiration for this season was the Grace Jones track, Hurricane, and that she wanted to create a hurricane effect collection.

And, with Naomi Campbell and Chanel Iman modelling, Daniella has certainly whipped up a storm.
