Sylvia Heisel

Silvia Heisel creates clothing and accessories that embody creativity, technology and sustainable style. Obsessed with new technologies as well as sustainability, Heilsel is an expert in techno materials, as well as physical computing, as it relates to wearable technology. She partners and consults on smart wearables and new technology applications for fashion brands. Launched in 2013 Heisel’s brand actively embraces open-sourcing and creative partnerships.

Known for her iconic Tyvek and reflective designs, Heisel works with a range of non-traditional materials, including CTF3 – a US made material that is ounce for ounce stronger than steel, and weighs almost nothing. 3M reflective fabric – made from microscopic glass beads, that glow in the dark when you shine a light on them, and Tyvek – a recyclable, washable plastic, most often used in construction. Tyvek is a low melt plastic, which according to Heisel is “An awesome material to work with (that) makes a lot of beautiful things”, including a tutu with tiny embedded LED lights that pulse and fade in a series of three separate settings. Heisel augments the collection with coordinates in organic cotton and recycled polyester fleece.
