In a constant dialogue with representatives of the free art scene the label I‘ VR ISABEL VOLLRATH of Isabel Vollrath, the graduate of Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee that has been awarded several times in national and international contests, does not stick to the idea that fashion is only clothing. At I‘ VR ISABEL VOLLRATH fashion is a border-crossing, three-dimensional sketch, a collage and object of sculpting – a sculpture on the human body.
With an innovative, provocative choice of materials and high-end details I‘ VR ISABEL VOLLRATH stands for recognizable accents that merge fashion and art. Upcycling meets High-Tech. The use of findings, burlap, thick wool fabrics, foil, flamboyant prints and graphic patterns, leather and silk, cotton, gaze and tulle as well as the incorporation of cultural influences, personal experiences, travel reports and critical statements create a collection full of tension, diversity and change. The signature silhouettes of I’ VR ISABEL VOLLRATH are structural, abstract pieces, yet caressing the female figure, visualizing the designer‘s affection for extraordinary materials. The collections, handcrafted to perfection, sway between upcycling, high-tech and Isabel Vollrath‘s undeniable craft background in bespoke tailoring.
