ABOUT THE COLLECTION

Step into a world where shadow and light dance in perfect harmony. Chiaroscuro, our latest collection, is a tribute to the grandeur of the Italian Renaissance, reimagined for the modern wardrobe. Inspired by the dramatic contrasts found in art, architecture, and aristocracy, this collection celebrates the tension between darkness and illumination, mystery and revelation, power and grace.

Each print tells a story of Renaissance mastery, drawing from Italy’s most influential families, iconic artworks, and historical grandeur. The Seraphina Print evokes celestial beauty, blending ethereal angelic depictions with bold, fiery contrasts. Fiorenza, a tribute to Da Vinci’s botanical sketches, translates delicate floral etchings into rich, autumnal hues. The Borgia Print, adorned with champagne-colored coins on deep black, whispers of wealth, intrigue, and untamed ambition.

From the geometric precision of D’Este, inspired by the artistic legacy of Isabella d’Este, to the lavish Salamanca Print, alive with playful putti and neoclassical grandeur, every design is a masterpiece of refinement. The Orsini Print, steeped in the legend of knights and noble castles, conjures visions of chivalry and forgotten myths.

Balancing these opulent prints is The Colour Edit, a curated palette of sophisticated solids. Sabbia delivers sun-warmed earth tones, Oscura commands attention in deep black, Terracotta grounds the collection with rustic warmth, and Celestia offers a regal navy—each shade meticulously chosen to complement and enhance the collection’s intricate designs.

Luxurious textures and intricate embellishments elevate each piece, designed to be effortlessly mixed and matched, ensuring timeless elegance with a sense of quiet confidence. Whether enveloped in the richness of print or wrapped in the subtle depth of color, every garment exudes understated opulence and unparalleled craftsmanship.

For those who embrace history, artistry, and individuality, Chiaroscuro is more than fashion—it is a statement of refinement, power, and poetic beauty, where light and shadow converge to tell a story only you can wear.

ABOUT ANNA PAOLA

FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Born in the United States, and raised in Greece, to a Greek father and a Mexican - American mother, Anna Paola’s designs encompass her multi-cultural upbringing.

A Foundation of Detail and Design

At Paolita, thoughtful design, vibrant colour, and an expert understanding of form shape everything we do. Founder and Creative Director Anna Paola developed her sharp eye for detail during her time working with iconic fashion legends Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan. These early experiences continue to influence the way she approaches each collection today.

A World of Inspiration

Anna’s creative process is deeply rooted in research. She draws on a wide range of sources — from museums and archives to libraries, global travel, and the natural world. Often, she will spend weeks or even months studying art history, cultural references, and nature. As a result, every print tells a meaningful story and reflects the depth of her vision.

From Sketch to Garment

Each Paolita print begins as a hand-drawn illustration in our London studio. Once complete, our European atelier transforms these artworks into beautifully crafted garments. This close connection between design and craftsmanship ensures every piece reflects the care, creativity, and quality that define the Paolita brand.
