From the province of Pisa to the most important catwalks of international fashion. It is the fairy tale of Chiara Balla, a young 22-year-old fashion designer originally from Capannoli. Her outfits have been noticed, and appreciated, by industry insiders, who have decided to include her among the 7 finalists for the Fashion Design area of Milano Moda Graduate 2023, an event organized by the National Chamber of Italian Fashion held during Fashion Week, dedicated to the excellence of fashion schools.
Chiara’s talent has also won over Peuterey, a clothing brand specializing in outerwear, which subsequently decided to develop a collaboration by including her in the modeling, prototyping and product development office.
Her collection “Burrnesh is inspired by the women of the Balkans who dressed (and behaved) like men; from here comes a proposal halfway between tradition and innovation, made with fabrics of Italian origin and Casentino cloth, where small details such as hand-made prints and embroidery are highlighted, the result of research and experimentation.
