Imagine eavesdropping on conversations with some of today’s most interesting creators: How did they get started? What inspires them? What does the future look like through their eyes? cultured’s podcast, point of view, that’s all. Each month, we bring you intimate interviews with creative leaders reflecting on their personal journeys and their visions for the future.
Since the launch of Collina Strada in August 2009, it has taken the fashion industry by storm. In this month’s episode of view, podcast editor Sienna Fekete examines founder Hillary Taymour’s journey as a creator and her goals for the cool kids’ brand. Ahead of New York Fashion Week – and her show tomorrow – the American designer reveals how she maintains silhouettes between collections, focusing on new prints and colours. “Don’t buy something from me every season… keep and covet what you own and keep wearing it for years to come,” she explains of her mission to create a sustainable fashion brand.
Taymour strives to pioneer change in the fashion industry by setting new standards and inspiring other brands to follow. “Collina is about being positive and showing love and light through a crazy dark world,” she says. “I’m going to be the weird aunt of the New York fashion industry just to put a smile on someone’s face.”
