Why Collina Strada is worth it
Collina Strada turns activism into joyful clothes: clashing custom prints, deadstock fabrics and a sense of humor, made mostly in New York.
The signatures are a bias-cut satin slip dress set with lace panels and a cargo pant with a pleated skirt attached, both reissued in new prints, alongside ruffled dresses and graphic tees. Much of it is cut from deadstock, recycled or plant-based fabric, including a fiber made from rose-bush waste, and sewn locally in New York, so all that color comes with a clear conscience.

About Collina Strada
Hillary Taymour started Collina Strada around 2008 while living in Los Angeles, then took the label to New York in 2010.
It grew into a platform for climate and social causes as much as a clothing line: fully vegan, on the runway from 2017 and a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist in 2019, with collections that mix humor, youth and a call to action.
