Issy Brightmore is a fashion designer whose practice explores how garments can preserve memory, embody personal histories, and reflect the relationship between people, place, and time. Through textile manipulation, collected natural materials, and traditional craft techniques, her work reimagines clothing as a form of storytelling, exploring the connections between material, memory, and human experience.

Working with deadstock fabrics and naturally sourced materials, Issy combines structured tailoring with softer, organic forms to create collections that balance strength with vulnerability. Her practice is grounded in slow processes of making, gathering and collaboration, allowing each garment to carry traces of its origin and the narratives embedded within it.
