redress Design Award Collection

For her Redress Design Award menswear collection, Red Sun, Isabella draws on strong feminine influences while playing with the motif of a rising sun over water. Isabella up-cycles a variety of waste clothing and textiles sourced from charities, her university and fabric recyclers into a collection with silhouettes that are considered feminine today, but retain a masculine history.
