Isabelle Rees is a Melbourne based clothing and textile designer. Her prints begin by her hand painting and sketching using gouache or markers before being digitalized and brought to life through Adobe Photoshop or illustrator. Isabelle explores organic textures and playful colours, with her trend and research based designs reflecting the market but also considers and applies sustainable and environmental practices to not only her design processes but ethics.

​

Isabelle’s passion for the environment and eco-fashion has allowed her to explore natural dyeing techniques, upcycling, zero-waste practices. Exploring the effects of how vegetables in the home can produce a range of beautiful and organic colour palettes in her designs, and how these colours can vary depending on the choice of natural materials. Her graduate collection focuses on creating textile swatches that can be created into a full-length fabric for a spring/summer 2021 collection with the main idea of her wanting to create a deep connection between cloth and body.
