Prior to starting her own label, Isabela trained under experienced masters and worked on various projects, including 'Maria Bonita,' 'Maria Bonta Extra,' 'Lenny,' and 'Bangu.'
Establishing Her Label
In April 2003, Isabela created her own atelier in Gávea, Rio de Janeiro, marking the beginning of her independent career. She rapidly expanded her label's presence by participating in fashion shows in Paris every six months starting from October 2003. Renowned fashion consultant Robert Forrest assisted Isabela in organizing these shows. Isabela's collections gained popularity in different regions, and today her designs can be found in 20 countries worldwide. She has established partnerships with major retailers such as 'Barneys' and 'Jeffrey's' in the United States, 'Browns' in the UK, 'Colette' and 'le Bon Marche' in France, 'Biffi' in Italy, 'Ekseption' in Spain, 'Barneys' and 'United Arrows' in Japan, 'Sake' and 'Harvey Nichols' in the Arab world, and 'Vila Moda' in Kuwait.
Success and Recognition
In January 2004, Isabela made her debut on the 'Fashion Rio' project, which led to her invitation to showcase her collections at São Paulo Fashion Week, the most important fashion event in Latin America. In May 2005, Isabela opened her first boutique on Dias Ferreira Street, one of the most charming locations in Rio. In 2006, her studio moved to a more spacious and convenient location in Umaid. Currently, all the divisions of her label, including production, creative team, and management, operate under one roof.
