Izzy Camilleri stands out as one of Canada’s most esteemed fashion designers. With a career spanning over three decades, she has designed custom clothing for an international clientele, created stunning collections featured in prominent fashion magazines like Vogue and InStyle, and dressed notable film stars such as Daniel Radcliffe, Mark Wahlberg, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, and David Bowie. Her eponymous line, known for its sleek leather and fur combinations, garnered critical acclaim, culminating in winning the CAFA Women’s Wear Designer of the Year Award in 2006.

A significant shift in Izzy’s remarkable career occurred in 2009 when she was approached by a well-known journalist who used a wheelchair. This journalist sought fashionable, functional clothing, and Izzy saw an opportunity to innovate and expand her audience. This request inspired her to venture into a new, largely unexplored area of fashion. Embracing this challenge, she launched IZ Adaptive, now known as IZ Collection, a clothing line specifically designed for people who use wheelchairs. Through IZ Collection, Izzy Camilleri has not only expanded her design repertoire but also made a significant contribution to inclusive fashion, catering to the needs of a seated clientele with style and functionality.
