Carola's Early Life
Carola Insolera was born deaf, and her whole family is also deaf. From a young age, she was very active in the deaf community. She worked on TV as a presenter and actress. She even performed in the circus as a clown, a trapeze artist, and a contortionist.
Until she was eight years old, Carola thought everyone in the world was deaf. Everyone around her used sign language. This helped her become very good at visual communication. She calls this her "super power" in the hearing world.
Carola's Modeling Career
In 2011, Carola was asked to perform at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Since then, she has worked only in the fashion world. She has walked on many catwalks and done photo shoots for different brands.
Carola believes that being deaf has helped her in her career. She told Corriere della Sera that it makes her better at visual communication. She said, "Deafness is an opportunity, an asset I would say. It enables me to reinforce my sight and my visual communication. I've always used it as a force element, kind of an advantage."
Walking the Catwalk
Carola has shared that her deafness does not stop her from walking on catwalks. She doesn't need to hear the music. Instead, she feels the music's vibrations through the runway.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, she explained, "Someone has asked me how I would do catwalks when I cannot hear the music: actually, I can perceive the sound vibrations through the body, not just with the ears. A deaf person can dance, why not? And then, anyway, on the catwalks, all you need to do is just walking..."
Photo Shoots
Carola does not use interpreters during her photo shoots. She prefers to work directly with the photographers. She communicates with them using visual cues. She said, "It forces me to look in people for a visual and emotional connection, differently from other models. I have to get in touch with the photographer and understand what he/she wants from me without the help of words but only through his/her facial expressions and my energy."
In 2017, Carola was the face of a campaign for Bagutta. The Italian fashion photographer Stefano Guindani worked with her. He said it was an amazing experience. He noted her "sensitivity, her ability to express herself with the body and move in front of the camera is unique." He added that she is "an example for all."
In November 2018, Carola was on the main poster for Leslie Kee's photo exhibition "WE ARE LOVE" in Tokyo. In January 2019, she was featured in a thirteen-page fashion story in Vanity Fair Italia.
