"VEILS" 

Chiara Cola doesn't work with seasonal collections: all her accessories belong to conceptual series and are part of limited editions, signed and titled, just like a wearable digital painting. 

Seeing the world through veils: creations that, through a strong and personal reinterpretation, pay a tribute to the mystery of women in mantillas, weeping black widows, fluo pierrots and circus artists, veiled warriors, winged cocoons, sacred crucifixions and multicolour hawkers..through to a final collapse of worlds and emotions, willing to recreate something similar to a portrait from the 1600.
