About fashion

Since I decided to separate my research from my brand. Carla Schmetterling become a slow fashion brand  that creates pieces inspired in the 1900's. 

The work started when I adopted some of the victorian shapes for the final project at my fashion degree, then, I started studing the shapes of the 1900's era till I found my own way to project them in 2022.

Carla Schmetterling is an fashionable project that prioritizes ethical and comfort values, without sacrificing an aesthetically crafted piece.

About my research

Since 2015 I have been exploring and growing my aesthetic perspective. The experience of the skin in his interaction with the world is my research field. Art has the power to make changes in our body but also in our mind.

I see the tattoo as an artistic practice that allow me to connect to others. You can see some of my previous work here.
