A project by Carol Christian Poell's ex-head tailor... Isabella Stefanelli has also worked with Rick Owens and Maharishi so this "reworked vintage" venture is especially interesting.
(IS) Tailoring is a bright intervention of vintage clothing
through a sartorial based design.
As a starting point old clothes are chosen with great care from forgotten wardrobes and fleamarkets and are then completely overhauled by hand. The result is the world wide premiere ‘capsule collection’ of irreproducible jackets, trousers, shirts, ties and sweaters.
"...I want to make more suits, I want to tell stories and let people feel it.."
info and pics from isabellastefanelli.comIsabella Stefanelli started learning her craft at a very young age in
the southern italian region of Puglia, as a tailor for her
father in his tailorshop.
She studied fashion in the medieval city of Urbino, central Italy and
then moved to Milan where she perfected her skills working
for theaters, private tailoring customers and worked for various fashion labels
including for Carol Christian Poell as Head Tailor.
In 2005 Isabella moved to London working as a men and women's clothes
Designer for Maharishi. a freelance Designer for Artful Dodger NY and
as Technical Consultant for Rick Owens.
Most recently, In February 2009, Isabella launched her first private
collection IS TAILORING in Rome hosted by Motelsalieri.
Speaking about herself, she says: "...I want to make more suits, I
want to tell stories and let people feel it.."
