“I am alive. Isn’t that a beautiful thing?” Isabella Strahan perfectly expressed it. Those words sounded like a victory anthem after a year of chemotherapy, surgery, and uncertainty. Isabella changed the course of events, but it didn’t begin there. Isabella talked candidly about the early days on the Battlefront podcast. “At the beginning of my journey, I was not so positive. I only kind of thought about the worst things that could happen. And I think that’s pretty detrimental,” she admitted. There were times when it seemed as though there was no hope for the future. But she kept going.
And now, Isabella is demonstrating to the world what it means to stand up for yourself—and look good while doing it—with each new picture, every pose, and every flash of that carefree confidence. The world is finally catching up to Isabella’s brightness, and she’s not just back—she’s front and centre, from hospital beds to high fashion. Isabella Strahan shared several gorgeous pictures from her Kenneth Cole campaign on Instagram with the message, “Reminiscing on dream ad with @kennethcole thank you for allowing me to be a voice .”
And oh, she wasn’t just posing—she was commanding. The shots feature her in sleek, powerful ensembles: a black blazer and skirt suit, a striped blue shirt paired with a black skirt co-ord set, and a halter neck black top with pants. These weren’t just clothes—they were armor. Symbolic of a young woman who went to war with cancer and came out slaying.
And she received an abundance of affection, with comments describing her as “beautiful,” “gorgeous,” “perfect girl,” and “legend.” But this was more than mere fashion fanfare. Kenneth Cole’s Purposeful Voices campaign, a project that celebrates resilience, representation, and purpose. And Isabella? She is all three. As Kenneth Cole’s Instagram described: “The day before her 19th birthday, Isabella was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. Throughout her grueling treatment journey, she became a beacon of light for those in need.”
And Kenneth Cole himself didn’t hold back his admiration. “I am inspired by how Isabella has persevered and overcome her personal illness,” he said in an interview with Good Morning America. “I appreciate her allowing us to help her tell her story as part of our Purposeful Voices campaign.” Even more impressive? Isabella hand-picked her seven looks for the campaign. “I love that I had input, and I got to wear clothes that I felt comfortable in and loved,” she said.
And while the campaign marked a milestone in Isabella’s comeback and the appreciation poured in, there was one comment that made it personal.
Isabella Strahan’s comeback crowned by Sophia’s powerful one-word tribute
One comment stood out among the flood of fiery remarks and heart-eye emojis. It wasn’t from a fan or a fashion editor—it was from her twin sister, Sophia Strahan. It was just one word, but it hit differently. “Love ,” Sophia commented. That’s all. Because sometimes a single phrase can express everything when you’ve experienced what these two have.
And their connection? Unfiltered, complex, and deeply real. Isabella frequently found herself observing from the sidelines as Sophia went about her “normal” college life while she was undergoing treatment for medulloblastoma, a rare and aggressive brain tumour. “I’d just be looking at everyone’s stories, doing everything… I was like, ‘Well, I’m sitting in a house’,” said Isabella.
Sophia, on the other hand, tried to anchor her sister in normalcy. “Something she would say to me quite a few times was like, ‘I just don’t feel normal…’ I think something that I tried to do best was to make her feel normal.” But they had their moments—Isabella even joked during a podcast appearance: “I don’t think that Sophia has seen any of my vlogs, so yeah, she is like the number one ‘unsupporter’ over here.”
And yet here they are, physically and emotionally reunited in real time. The sisters are now creating memories rather than lamenting them, whether it’s a Kenneth Cole banner or sunsets in the Bahamas. A recent getaway to the Bahamas proved that. From sipping iced matcha lattes to recreating childhood beach photos, the Strahan twins are rewriting their story in bold, beautiful chapters.
