Isabela Rangel Grutman is the definition of a multi-hyphenate; over the past decade, she has grown her career from international model to global philanthropist, style influencer, brand builder, design advisor, and full-time mother. And recently, she added a new title to the impressive list of accolades: designer. Grutman launched her new clothing brand, Rangel, this month, a clothing line for mothers and children alike, made locally in Miami featuring 100% organic fabrics from Brazil—two places near and dear to Grutman’s heart. 

Haute Living sat down with Grutman for an exclusive look into the new brand, what inspired her to create the line, and what’s next.

HAUTE LIVING: First of all, congratulations! This line is incredible and very impressive. What inspired you to create this line?
ISABELA GRUTMAN: My whole life, I was always around fashion. I also studied Fashion Design and always enjoyed the process of designing and creating. During quarantine, I started making my girls dresses, and with the leftover fabrics, I would make little bows and dresses for their dolls. My friends and followers started telling me I should do a brand. I launched RANGEL for women and daughters, but I’m definitely looking to expand into other categories that I’m passionate about.

HL: Your daughters are clearly a significant source of inspiration for this line — did they also inspire the colors, prints, and silhouettes?
IG: They are my biggest inspiration, but the colors and prints were inspired by Brazil, my family, and my childhood. The silhouettes were inspired by a chic vacation, mirrored with my personal style.

HL: So, what’s next for the line?
IG: I’m already getting inspiration and thinking about the designs for the next launch. I’m very excited to see where the brand is going to go, and cannot wait to share more pieces. I am truly so grateful for all the support I have received on RANGEL and all the great feedback I’m getting from all my friends and clients. I can’t wait to see where the future takes me!
