cute red leggings
I have one of her pants, they are 5 years old and i STILL get compliments when I wear them!
Izzy is a great designer and an amazing woman. She has recently designed a fashion line for women in wheelchairs.
I think she deserves a great deal of recognition for her support of the disabled AND her great fashion sense.
Adaptable high end fashion, what a fantastic idea. All designers should learn from Izzy’s example.
I have a few of her pieces. I paid a good amount for them but the quality is fantastic and I think I will be wearing them for years to come. Great investment.
does anyone know if she has leather dresses also?
