'I make clothes to treasure, not wear once': Yorkshire luxury designer Isabelle Randall opens at Victoria Leeds shopping centre
Scarborough-based designer and maker Isabelle Randall is bringing her collection of luxury hand-crafted clothing to Victoria Gate in Leeds this weekend.
Isabelle studied fashion design at Leeds University and a Master’s at the Royal College of Art. Her career has taken her from London to Scotland and the North Yorkshire coast, where she has her own design practice creating bespoke and custom-made pieces, specialising in handmade linen and tweed.
She is showcasing her new luxury ready-to-wear collection at Victoria Gate on 26th and 27th September.
Designer and maker Isabelle Randall creates every piece herself in Yorkshire, specialising in handmade linen and tweed womenswear and menswear.
100 years of fashion at M&S plus new season picks here
Having gained her BA (Hons) degree in Fashion Design at Leeds University and a Master's at the Royal College of Art in London, Isabelle developed her expertise working alongside couture designers including Hussein Chalayan, Bella Freud and Roland Klein.
Her career has since taken her from London to Scotland and, more recently, to the North Yorkshire coast, where she has established her own design practice creating bespoke and custom-made pieces.
Now, Isabelle is bringing that experience to her first made-to-order collection, combining the craftsmanship of bespoke clothing with pieces designed to be more accessible to customers looking for quality, individuality and longevity.
The collection has already been showcased at Bramham International Horse Trials and York Fashion Week, and the Victoria Gate pop-up marks a significant milestone for Isabelle as she returns to the city where her journey into fashion began.
“I have wanted to have a presence in Leeds for many years, so I’m delighted to be hosting this special pop-up in the gorgeous Victoria Gate,” said Isabelle.
“Everything I create is handmade by me in Yorkshire, from the initial design through to the finished piece. For me, luxury is about the quality of the materials, the craftsmanship and creating something that is made to be treasured rather than simply worn for one season.”
The event will also hold a deeply personal significance for Isabelle, taking place on what would have been her late father’s birthday. He sadly passed away earlier this year and had been a longstanding supporter of her career.
“The fact that this event is taking place on my dad’s birthday makes it extra special,” Isabelle added. “He was my biggest cheerleader and would be so proud to see me here in Leeds city centre, showcasing my designs.”
Shoppers can visit the Isabelle Randall pop up on 26-27th September outside John Lewis, Victoria Gate, Leeds.
