Petra Isabelle is all about turning girls’ gams into glorious kaleidoscopic array of color.  She has beeDesignern working with textiles in her hometown of Vienna, Austria for years, studying at the Academy of applied arts in Vienna, for that very reason.  She learned various dying techniques to develop a style of manipulating textiles, twisting and contorting colors to the contours of the body.

She has been working on her lines of tights since 2004, but since then has really begun launching her lines on the Internet and getting her designs in shops under the name Pebelle, a combination of her first and last name. She says, being from a small country like Austria, its important to think of her lines of tights internationally. “Look across the border, try to reach the whole world, not just your neighbors.” Her dyeing is her art and life, reflecting on the people who wear them, their lives reflecting back into her work, turning fishnets into saturated snake-skins, tights into a torrent of color and pattern, socks into something interesting to look at. She does it a lot, and she does it well.
