Isabella Taylor (from England) is famous for creating dresses from salmon skin. As a young designer, she considers sustainability as a top priority.
To get the pieces of fish skin, Taylor went to fish shops or processing factories. These pieces of skin would have been discarded, but thanks to the creativity of the young designer, they could be turned into gorgeous clothes.
"Sustainability is the only thing I care about - the reason I got into fashion was to help make it more sustainable," Taylor told South West News Service .
Because fish skin is a difficult material to work with, Isabella Taylor had to go through many steps such as thorough cleaning, descaling, sun drying and dyeing. Once dried, she molded the fish skin. After this process, the fish skin no longer had any smell and could be used for a long time.
Taylor has loved sea creatures since she was a child. Before becoming a fashion designer, she was an artist and often used sea creatures as the centerpiece of her work.
Gradually, she wanted to attract more people to care about environmental protection so she entered the fashion industry.
Isabella Taylor's fish skin designs have a unique style. In addition, she said, this material feels light when worn and is not easily damaged. Therefore, they attract many customers from all over the world . Her most recent customer is the famous actress Julia Fox.
Despite the unique idea, Isabella Taylor’s fish skin outfit has received mixed reviews. Some people believe that fish skin is not a suitable material for clothing and the smell cannot be completely removed.
