How One Italian Shoe Brand Is Making Inroads Everywhere From Asia to the U.S.
LAUNCHED: 2009
BASE: “I have lived in Milan since I was 16 years old. I moved here to study, and of course, working in the fashion world, I decided to stabilize here.”
MADE IN: Italy
YOUR SHOES IN THREE WORDS: “Ironic, surreal and irreverent.”
CREATIVE PROCESS: “Inspiration always arises from art — different artistic currents fascinate me and I transform the emotions that they send me into projects. The constant of all Coliac collections are details, especially metallic or decorative.”
SHOP TALK: “The main market is Asia: [mainly] China and Korea. My creations are also highly appreciated in Europe, Middle East and Russia. We are working to make Coliac a well-established brand in America.”
WISE WORDS: “Especially at the beginning, it was hard, totalizing work that becomes an everyday routine. But if it is a real dream moved by passion, there is no better advice than starting to do everything, because it can be realized.”
INSPIRATION: “A lot of my mom’s bijoux collections, Deco Italian, Russian constructivism, primary colors, Bali, Mendini and Sottsass.”
WHAT’S NEXT: “Last season I started with the Coliac clothing collection. I hope to make it grow and that it is always better in parallel with the shoes and jewels, which are my first love.”
