About

The Spirit of CORA

The CORA brand was created in 2015 by the Italian Cosmic Shamanic artist, Corinna Lorena Carrara.

Corinna graduated in Fashion Design in Milan in 2005, but she became deeply disappointed with the fashion industry and devoted herself exclusively to painting.

After ten years of exclusive dedication to oil painting on canvas and living in many different countries (Barcelona, Ibiza, Paris, Brazil, Mexico, New York), she decided to begin the CORA brand.

During her nomadic life around the world, she became fascinated by Ancestral Wisdom, Shamanic practices, and handcrafted tribal clothing.

In 2013, Corinna lived for the first time in Mexico, where she started to collect fabrics and create her first designs for herself.

In 2015, she started the CORA brand: One of a Kind  Artwear with a strong emphasis on a slow and love-filled handmade process.

A Slow Fashion brand with a strong artistic, handcrafted, and spiritual approach.

The designs are inspired by Ancestral Clothing: the artist gathers inspiration from visiting tribes and interprets them, adding her creativity and sensitivity to color.

Corinna loves to use fluorescent colors because, for her, they represent the Spiritual World, and they are always present in most of her paintings and Artwear.

She collects fabrics from around the world during her journeys, especially looking for ancestral handcrafted textiles: hand-woven, hand-dyed, and hand-stitched fabrics.

Corinna prints her paintings on fabrics, and also hand-paints directly onto the Artwear: it can be simple lines and symbols, or the most elaborate paintings on fabric.

In each unique Artwear piece, the artist expresses herself through Patchwork: mixing together fabrics from many countries with her artistic skills and spiritual message.

Through her Artwear, she visually creates the Harmony of the world’s wide-ranging tribes and the harmony between the Ancestral and the Modern times.

Each CORA piece is patiently stitched by hand, all around each patchwork shape, giving a three-dimensional and unique effect, adding extra time, love, and knowledge.

The CORA mission is to remind each person of his/her Uniqueness and his/her Cosmic origin and mission.

We are shining Stars, expanding our Light around the planet, calling other Stars to shine with us.

It’s a Heart call. CORA is opening a New Way out of the fashion system: taking each other’s hands and manifesting an authentic and Heart-connected New Planet.
