The “Women Graphic Sweatshirt” by Isla Novak brings together artistic emotion and everyday comfort. Designed in a soft cotton-blend fleece, this sweatshirt features Isla’s signature hand-drawn abstract print across the front — a fusion of bold lines and subtle color accents that express freedom and individuality. The relaxed silhouette with ribbed cuffs and hem ensures both style and ease, while the medium-weight fabric makes it ideal for layering in every season. Available in soft beige and muted clay tones, it balances cozy wear with expressive energy.
For Isla, each graphic she creates tells a personal story — a dialogue between movement and stillness, color and silence. The “Women Graphic Sweatshirt” reflects her passion for wearable art — pieces that inspire emotion rather than just follow trends. The artwork was inspired by the idea of resilience and transformation, celebrating how women embody both strength and softness.
This sweatshirt is more than just apparel; it’s a canvas of confidence. Whether worn with jeans or styled for a relaxed studio look, it encourages individuality and creative expression — staying true to Isla’s belief that fashion is an extension of art and emotion.
Isla’s new Dripty series, “Ethereal Flow,” brings dreamlike visuals to everyday fashion. Her pastel-inspired hoodies and cropped tees feature layered gradients resembling oil paint on glass—delicate yet striking. Each design embodies calm energy and introspection, perfect for those who find beauty in stillness and depth.
