Profile picture of Isabella Balfour-Bernard

I am Isabella, I'm from the UK. My work focuses on confronting controversial and political issues in a comforting way. My aim is to make people think without causing discomfort. In my designs i like to highlight technical skills and visually flattering silhouettes, using a diverse range of textiles and colours depending on the mood for my projects.

The upper British classes are driving a wedge in between law and culture. Too much leeway is given to those with money and power. Tradition cannot be considered a right when they cause harm to our environment, high class ‘hobbies’ are normalising killing because of their historical convention. Trail hunting was created as a smokescreen or a ‘front’ for illegal fox hunting, it was designed to deceive the authorities and make the prosecution of illegal hunters very difficult. This comes as little surprise to most as upper classes and aristocrats continuously evade the law due to personal connection to the government and the Royal Family.
