My friend Isabelle Bricknall, who has died aged 71, led a richly creative life spanning fashion, art and music. Over several decades she worked as a model, fashion designer, stylist and artist. She brought an instinctive eye for colour and composition to everything she did.
From the mid-1970s to 80s she worked with the British designer Zandra Rhodes, carrying out hand-finishing, beading and embellishment work on garments while also modelling in the fashion shows. Working for Rhodes fostered Izzy’s lifelong appreciation for bold, theatrical design.
