For ISABEL VOLLRATH garments are three-dimensional drawings, collages, objects of "sculpture”, socio-critical/political statements and/or “cultural travelogues”.

With an extraordinary choice of materials and valuable details, the Berlin Designer, who merges fashion and art, sets accents with recognition value.

Using both, historicizing and avant-garde, sculptural-futuristic stylistic elements, a contrasting, abstract and at the same time figure-accentuating cut,

she creates expansive, expressive silhouettes - while displaying her strong background in bespoke tailoring.
