COLLINA STRADA

When New York's most expressive fashion label brings its idiosyncratic universe into the domestic sphere, the result is a quiet study in texture and tone. Marking LAYERED's first collaboration with a fashion designer, the collection translates Collina Strada's subcultural heritage into tactile, hand-crafted textiles, combining fluid motifs, unstudied tonal contrasts, and rich surface textures that disrupt traditional interior composition.

ABOUT COLLINA STRADA

Collina Strada is a New York-based fashion label founded by designer Hillary Taymour in 2008. Known for its vibrant, youth-driven aesthetic, the brand serves as a platform for social awareness and eco-activism. It operates at the intersection of high fashion, inclusivity, and sustainability.

By merging Collina Strada's expressive aesthetic with genuine textile craftsmanship, the collection introduces interior objects that deliberately challenge the expected. As Hillary Taymour's universe translates into interior design, it does not yield passive background elements, but rather objects that lend an independent character to a room.

"In design, I'm interested in creating tension between opposing ideas: beauty and discomfort, fragility and strength, fantasy and realism. I think fashion and design should evoke emotion and individuality rather than perfection."

– Hillary Taymour, Founder and Creative Director

The collection comprises four hand-tufted rugs and two sofas. Anchored in Hillary's signature pink and green tones, the designs directly reference the label's history: one pattern is lifted straight from the floor of Collina Strada's New York flagship store, while another features the distinct plaid from the brand's AW26 runway. Two flower-shaped sculptural rugs, each in a different colorway, bring organic forms into a room and challenge its traditional geometry.

With this collaboration, the intuitive energy of contemporary ready-to-wear is translated into homewares that are created with enduring craftsmanship. Each rug is hand-tufted by two to three artisans, a meticulous process that can take up to four days. To capture the spontaneity of a fashion sketch, the pile heights and edges of the rugs are hand-carved, adding tactile structure and unique variations to every piece.
