Brooklyn based Venezuelan designer Susana Colina produces a modern, minimal, women’s wear collection with sculptured, architectural lines. The collections strong graphic color story reflects Colina’s own background in graphic design. With a love of the arts, mixed media and music, her rich, multi layered background enriches her design aesthetic. Growing up in a creative household, Colina’s mother shared her love of fashion, fabric and unique materials with her daughter, who eventually went on to take her Bachelors degree in Graphic Arts in her hometown of Zulia. Her creative expression enriched by her love of travel and new experiences expanded her horizons and design knowledge.

Founded in 2012, Colina’s organic material research predates the formation of the company that carries her name, and now forms the basis of the collection, and brand focus. Fabrics used range from certified organic cotton, and natural hemp, and also incorporate eco friendly soy and Lyocell fibers. The collection and her material choice is representative of Colina’s belief in a healthy lifestyle, and is entirely produced in the US.

With a focus on luxury design with modern, clean lines, the Susana Colina collection is realized almost entirely in organic and natural materials. The modern, clean and minimal aesthetic of the collection, has an architectural and graphic sensibility, with an almost futuristic design sense. Highly wearable dresses and separates have luxurious undertones, decisive silhouettes and strongly contrasting and graphic color stories.
