One of the best things about Allison Izu designs for me is that I don’t have to take the pants in for alteration. I also like the solid colors that make mixing and matching easier. In the beginning (see early photo), I stuck to one color (same color top and pants), but watching Allison’s videos, I now experiment with mixing colors with the tops, coverups and pants. I like having the showroom available to try on the new styles since some styles run larger than others, so I don’t take the same size for the different styles of tops and coverups.

Most of my wardrobe is Allison Izu designs. I love the fabrics, and ease of mixing and matching from very informal at-home wear, to running errands to being business appropriate, and fine dining ready. Allison’s style videos provide inspiration into creating one’s personal style. I love the convenience of her store in Manoa and on-line shopping. What I love about her clothes is that yes, Allison is petite and her clothes’ designs also look fabulous on fuller-figured gals. If you are fortunate to be at the shop when she is there…or even watching her videos you know her goal is to help women present their very best selves.

The clothes from Allison Izu are so comfortable and stylish! I pretty much wear something from Allison Izu every day. I LOVE the blouses and joggers - they go with everything, and can be worn from day to night! Wonderful quality clothing! I LOVE all my MANY Allison Izu pieces!!! Highly recommend!

I discovered Alison Izu through my coworker! She always looked so cute and comfortable in her outfits so I had to ask her where she bought them. Simple yet fashionable with mix and match colors and styles.I love the quality!

My DIL introduced me to Allison’s design at the Kaimuki store many moons ago. Since then I have been an avid customer. The pants I bought back then (and still wear) were the precursor to today’s sunrise jogger that I love. I visit the store whenever we are visiting family and now shop with my granddaughter. The Manoa store is lovely. Shipping to the mainland is never an issue and super speedy.My closet has many of the same clothes (especially tops) in multiple colors. Some of my favs are the Lily, Ella, Bobbi and Jodi. The fabric and fit are perfect for me. Shopping petite sizes has always been a problem for me, but not anymore. Love the clothes, customer service and all the lovely women who are a part of Allison’s Asian Women owned clothing.Mahalo!

So comfortable, cute, and absolutely perfect for smart casual wear. Can be dressed up for work too depending on the combinations. I’ve been a fan for years and almost 20% of my closet are these amazing staples. Try it out - you won’t regret it.

Super comfy, versatile, well-made, wrinkle-resistant staples that are absolutely perfect for building a capsule wardrobe for travel!

I love my Diamond Head Shorts - I have 4 or 5 in different colors. It's basically the only shorts I wear! Love this local small biz, and their staff is always 100% the BEST!

Rude and unfriendly. Poor customer service. Wouldn't recommend.

I have not been to the showroom, but I have ordered items online. Shipping fulfillment is fast from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland. Not only that, but each clothing item is comfortable and stylish. I feel like these pieces have been designed with much thought as to how women's bodies are realistically and differently shaped and are very nice to wear. I have received compliments on the nimbus top from different people already! Also, the clothes are made in the U.S.! I am not a fan of fast fashion but of mindful fashion, which this is.

If you want to support local but still get something quality and chic in return, here you go. Allison Izu is a local designer specializing in clothing for every body type (not just tall skinny models). Her designs are made for comfort, but are elevated enough to wear to work - in the office or at home. The showroom is only open a couple days a week (usually Fridays and Saturdays). If you’re lucky enough to have the time to stop by on either of those days, you’ll know the hype is real. The shop is minimal and organized making it easy to want a piece in every color. Joggers, tanks, long sleeves, short sleeves, and cover ups with clean lines and breathable, easy to wear fabrics are suited perfectly for going from running around in humid Hawaii weather to the office or grocery store where the A/C is just a tad too cold. The staff is so helpful and friendly and often times, you’ll run into Allison herself putting the icing on the whole shopping experience. Parking is pretty plentiful. Sometimes you’ll need to circle once as Manoa Marketplace has a Longs Drugs and a Safeway.

Tried the fukubukuro (AKA "lucky") bags that were prepared to kick off the new year, and there were two different offerings: (1) a $75.00 bag that includes a top and a pant; and (2) a $100.00 bag that consists of a top, pant, and one extra item. Bags contained clothes that were up to 70% off. Elected for the $75.00 option, and was not disappointed! Came in a reusable, eco-friendly bag, and included a flowy tank top, and the Milo Pant in Brick. Loved the combination, and am looking forward to finding other pieces that are sure to become staples in my wardrobe!

I was looking for gift ideas and saw that they have new designs. I called their store and asked if they could hold something for me; they will for a week. Many places will only hold something for a day if at all. I was able to go the next day to try on the item; the fit was perfect. Not only did I get the top but also found a pendant to go with it. Both will be gifts for a good friend!
