Collina Strada

Collina Strada

Collina Strada is a New York-based fashion brand founded by designer Hillary Taymour during her college years. The brand has rapidly emerged as a distinctive voice in the fashion industry, blending creative design with a steadfast commitment to sustainability. Taymour’s love for nature and animals shaped the brand’s mission from the outset: “I try to create clothes so that I don’t feel bad that they exist in the world. I want to be responsible for ethical consumption.”

The brand is known for its innovative use of deadstock and upcycled fabrics, its celebration of diversity in casting and community, and its playful, nature-inspired aesthetic. Collina Strada’s runway shows at New York Fashion Week have become cultural events, often featuring live animals, community casting, and immersive set designs that blur the line between fashion show and performance art.

Taymour’s work has been featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and profiled extensively by Vogue, The New York Times, and GQ. The brand has explored the use of AI in design and has collaborated with various artists and musicians. The FW24 collection drew inspiration from “the resilience of women navigating today’s chaotic world.”

For SS27, Collina Strada has been selected as the inaugural International Guest Slot at Pekan Mode Kopenhagen, supported by The Climate Pledge. This special recognition is awarded to an international brand to present a one-off runway showcase during the official CPHFW schedule. The introduction of the International Guest Slot is part of a wider collaboration between CPHFW and The Climate Pledge, highlighting the importance of global collaboration to foster positive change within the mode industry.
