Chris Triola is a self described visionary who thrives on wishes and dreams and likes to believe that anything is possible. She brings an artist’s approach to every aspect of design, with great attention paid to composition and detail.

“ I like to play with clothes, strip them to the basics then build,” she said. “Creating the fabric addresses the painter in me. When the fabric is done, that creates the flow of design.”

“The clothes I design are clothes for creative women. They’re ‘doing’ clothes… things to wear when you’re writing, buying, selling, making, driving, thinking… and they don't impose. You shouldn't even know they’re there.”

 “My dream is to combat ugliness and destruction in the world - the environment, the lack of opportunity. If I can come back to them with some beauty, that’s my contribution to the world… That’s the dream - to bring beauty and goodness. Living a creative life is a good life. In a creative world it’s always possible. There’s no such thing as can’t.”

“Designing is a lifestyle for me. I intuitively gather visual information all the time. Whether I am sitting at a meeting, taking the dogs for a walk, riding in the car, or looking through books, I am selecting interesting visual elements that may become part of a finished project. The most exciting times are when something I see triggers an effect and opens a whole new direction of thought. Some ideas are used right away; others are stored for future use. Some become themes whose very essence make up and ongoing part of my visual expression."

“There was no one I wanted to imitate. I chose to be myself. I am stimulated by working with people who give it everything they’ve got - who rise to the challenge of new ideas.”
