German designer Isabell de Hillerin develops her sustainable collection from a combination of delicate fabrics and folkloric handmade Romanian materials, to communicate a creative position somewhere between new design and old tradition. Her collection represents a rebellious response to the modern system of life, a reflection on our distance from the past and our separation from our history. With the Romanian traditional fabric industry close to extinction, Isabell de Hillerin is working with Romanian manufacturers to support the production of handmade materials, with the aim of supporting these highly skilled craftsmen by utilising their skills in a new way.
