Behind The Label ‘Kiara-Bella’
For as long as I can remember, creating has been my biggest love. I grew up surrounded by nature, where my days were spent painting, drawing, and playing barefoot beneath the trees. Fashion became my chosen language of expression, I loved to draw girls in dresses and experiment with clothing.
Over the years exploring a career in fashion as a young adult, I could never fully resonate or fit with the way the world presented it: fast, seasonal, and driven by trend/ scale. I found myself disconnected. That way of working felt forced, rushed, and at odds with the intentionality and artistry I value.
As I turn 25 this chapter of my work is a return to my roots and authenticity. My childhood shaped me deeply, it taught me that my natural rhythm is to create slowly, guided by inspiration that arrives from flow, reflection and appreciating the beauty around me. This is how the pieces I design are born, often from a painting sketch or journal entry that is alive with story.
My style embodies femininity and my philosophy is 1-3 designs max per concept to prioritise intentionality and beauty.
I hand-paint my prints and illustrations, and my drops are handmade in collaboration with artisan sewers in India, who bring each piece to life with care. Together, we create designs that are honest and made to last, never mass-produced, never rushed. Every run is small and considered, using only natural fibres. I also share my bespoke creations handmade by me as they flow.
What I hope for anyone who wears my designs is more than the feeling of putting on a dress. I want you to experience lightness, freedom, and connection. To feel wrapped in a story, an artwork, a beautiful idea made tangible. Each drop is accompanied by my paintings, illustrations, and writings, so you can step inside the creative process and see the meaning behind the piece you hold.
This is my way of creating that is true to who I’ve always been. Slow fashion, that is also a reminder that fashion can be art, a philosophy, and an experience.
Thankyou for being apart of my journey.
With love,
Kiara-Bella
