There's daring in delicacy, power in the pretty and grit in the girly. Collina Strada's SS24 show is presented at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, with all models grinning from ear to ear. Collina Strada isn’t just a fashion label – it's also a platform for social issues and awareness. Created by Hillary Taymour, her main concern is staying true to her craft, and staying on track to become a fully sustainable and radically transparent brand in the near future. This collection is no different. The offering for SS24 features wearable corsetry with diaphanous details, frills, layering and soft colours.

The brand’s cult status core pieces transcend trends. Taymour’s designs are imbued with a fearlessly fluid attitude, re-inventing classics and unexpected details. Collina Strada embodies humor and youth. Season after season, Collina Strada’s goal remains the same: to encourage self-reflection through clothing. How can you be the best version of yourself today? From denim details and spikes to regal gold and lace, we believe Collina Strada's SS24 answer to this is feminine energy.
