G-Star drops it’s first South African artist collab with Yay Abe
Inspired by the ulterior worlds of picture books and vintage design absorbed in childhood, her images turn nostalgia into a meticulously crafted visual language. Coastal life sparkles through her palette and imagery.

Izzy’s work is warm and feel good, but obsessively finished. Every highlight, texture and tiny detail is polished until it feels like you could step inside. Reinterpreting still life and traditional compositions, she is often drawn to glass and, chrome surfaces, using reflection to create immersive mirror worlds.

Her work has shimmered across murals for Pinterest, created illustration systems for Starbucks and reimagined perfume bottles as glistening poolside ornaments for a global Chanel campaign. It is always crystalline, immersive, and quietly transportive.
