New York ready-to-wear with a conscience

Collina Strada

Collina Strada was founded in New York by designer Hillary Taymour, who built the label around a conviction that clothing could carry more than aesthetics — it could hold community, identity, and a genuine environmental conscience, all without taking itself too seriously. The result is a body of work defined by bold prints, unexpected proportions, and a restless creativity that never settles into one formula.

Sustainability runs through the label's process rather than sitting on top of it as messaging. Taymour has built Collina Strada's production around deadstock fabrics, recycled materials, and hands-on studio practices, treating environmental responsibility as a design constraint rather than an afterthought. The clothing that comes out of that process feels distinctly human: imperfect in places, expressive, and built for people rather than runways.

That same sensibility carries into the label's jewelry, where recycled pewter and deadstock Swarovski crystals are cast into spiked, sculptural forms — rings and earrings that read more like tiny artworks than conventional accessories, each one made in the brand's New York studio and packaged in a jewelry bag sewn from the studio's own fabric scraps.

Designer Notes

The Collina Strada collection for Experience 27 reimagines New York irreverence as considered design — bold prints and sculptural jewelry, made with genuine care for how and what they're made from.
