Her brand Cara Julia was born in 2024 and her individually designed clothing began to sell almost immediately via social media channels. Since then, a number of high profile stylists and influencers have requested to wear the designs, further propelling the brand to UK and overseas buyers.
Designed for young women who adore feminine style and value the importance of sustainability, Cara’s designs celebrate romance, elegance, and ethical fashion.
Her experience at university heightened her awareness of the harmful effects of fast fashion, inspiring her to create a brand that encourages investment in thoughtfully crafted, timeless wardrobe staples.
“My brand is about encouraging customers to invest in pieces that tell a story of care and dedication to a better future for fashion,” says Cara.
With her latest collection for the spring season ‘Flirt’, Cara has designed garments that embody her commitment to slow fashion and timeless design.
Featuring romantic touches such as pink lace trims, delicate ribbon bows, and corseted bodices, the collection is designed to flatter the female form and evoke a sense of playful femininity. From corset dresses to coquette-inspired silhouettes, each piece is perfect for special occasions.
“I’ve always loved the spring and summer and these seasons in particular align perfectly with my brand vision,” says Cara. “This collection is about embracing slow fashion principles, creating garments that are not only beautiful but also ethically made and designed to last for years.”
Every piece in the Flirt collection is designed, pattern-cut, and handmade by Cara herself, with her father capturing the stunning visuals for her brand. The collection reflects Cara’s dedication to sustainability, offering women a thoughtful alternative to fast fashion.
The Flirt collection is now available on Cara’s website, offering women the opportunity to embrace slow fashion while looking and feeling their best. With a focus on corsetry and feminine silhouettes, Cara’s designs are a testament to her passion for craftsmanship and sustainability.
Looking ahead, Cara hopes to grow her brand’s reach, collaborate with celebrities, and continue championing slow fashion principles. “I want to inspire women to have fun with fashion while making mindful choices,” she says. “Every garment I create is designed to empower and bring joy.”
