I'VR ISABEL VOLLRATH showed her collection at the Stage@Me Collector's Room during this season’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin.
As we have already seen in her last collection for Spring/Summer 2016, Isabel Vollrath does not stick to the idea of fashion being only clothing. Her styles include three-dimensional sculptures, collages and sketches that come to life; they are politic statements or cultural travel reports and cross any known border.

Her designs combine fashion and art and her key pieces evolve around her love for high-end details. The silhouettes vary from structural and abstract to caressing the female body and emphasizing a small waist and wider hips. The handcrafted pieces sway between up cycling, and thereby underlining a sustainable train of thought, high-tech elements and the designer’s background in craftsmanship, which is absolutely undeniable.
Taking her inspiration from "Les Miserables", the designer explains that in this collection she is paying a tribute to the strong women of History: Marie Curie, Anne Frank, Frida Kahlo, Coco Chanel and Camille Claudel are only a few names on Vollrath's list. Calling for a revolution, she combines heavy woolen coats, knobby surfaces, suits of armour and bulky jackets with fragile elements.
It seems like Vollrath divided the collection into different themes, as it offers such a great variety, not only in cuts and shapes, but also in materials and colours. A bright orange dress, shaping a feminine X silhouette is shown right before a dress that is seemingly made out of recycled coffee bean bags - both pieces are feminine in structure, yet different to the core. The colors scheme of the collection ranges from bright orange to a heavy use of black, white, cream and brown, beige and white.

Bringing such exciting change in styles into one collection is what always makes I'VR ISABEL VOLLRATH's collections special.
