Carola's Early Life

Carola Insolera was born deaf, and her whole family is deaf. Growing up, she was very active in the sign language community. She worked on television as a presenter and acted in many shows. She even performed in the circus as a clown, a trapeze artist, and a contortionist.

Until she was eight years old, Carola thought everyone on Earth was deaf. Everyone around her used sign language. This helped her develop a strong ability to communicate visually. This skill later became her "super power" in the hearing world.

Carola's Modelling Career

In 2011, Carola was asked to perform at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Since then, she has worked only in the fashion industry. She has walked on many catwalks and done photo shoots for various brands. Carola believes that being deaf has actually helped her in her career. She says it makes her sight and visual communication stronger. She sees it as an advantage.

Walking the Catwalk

Some people wonder how Carola walks on catwalks without hearing the music. She explains that she feels the music's vibrations through the runway floor. She doesn't need to hear with her ears to feel the rhythm. Carola says, "A deaf person can dance, why not? And then, anyway, on the catwalks, all you need to do is just walking..."

Photo Shoots and Visual Communication

When Carola does photo shoots, she doesn't use interpreters. She prefers to work directly with the photographers and communicate visually. This means she has to connect with the photographer using their facial expressions and her own energy. She understands what they want without needing words.

In 2017, Italian fashion photographer Stefano Guindani worked with Carola for a campaign. He said it was an amazing experience. He noted her sensitivity and her ability to express herself with her body. He found her movements in front of the camera to be unique. He felt her story was special and that her way of expressing herself made her perfect for modeling.

In November 2018, Carola Insolera was featured on the main poster for Leslie Kee's 20th anniversary photo exhibition "WE ARE LOVE" in Tokyo. In January 2019, she appeared in a thirteen-page fashion story in Vanity Fair Italia.
