Founded by Martina Grasselli, the brand takes inspiration from travel and design. Following her studies in Textile Design at NABA in Milan she moved to Paris, where she studied at Duperré Fashion School. Subsequently, she worked for such prestigious names as Christian Louboutin, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Stella McCartney. In 2013, COLIAC launched its most iconic shoes – the Fernanda. These best-selling derby shoes are named after Martina’s mother, and combine masculine design with exquisite, hyper-feminine detailing such as metal and pearl-mounted “laces”.
