PROFILE

After working for several years for different fashion brands, Spanish designer Isabel Zapardiez decided to go solo in 1997, when she launched a mens and womenswear brand in her own name. Five years later came a turning point, in 2002, when she opted to focus on bridalwear, the sector in which she has found her niche.

Zapardiez designs haute couture using classic, timeless patterns updated with contemporary detail. She has a studio in her native San Sebastián, where all her gowns are custom made.

The premium quality of her fabrics and exquisite attention to silhouette are the signature features of these uniquely elegant dresses. The designer brings together all her references and sources of inspiration in every collection, which include an oriental look and the glamour of Hollywood divas from the Fifties, for which she makes use of vintage cut and material.

Isabel Zapardiez is responsible for her own annual collections and all the exclusive designs that leave her studio. Her short-term aim is nationwide consolidation before going global. The designer presented her 2009 bridalwear collection at the Puerta de Europa catwalk, where it was widely acclaimed.
