Del Cuore

Felizola debuted his spring/summer 2008 collection during Haute Lunch, a charity luncheon benefiting the AROD Family Foundation, hosted by "It" baseball player of the year, Alex Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia. When asked about this collection, Felizola said:[2]

"Del Cuore is about the passion of the heart and this collection is purely from the heart and completely about the passion that a woman has."

Enamorada

In 2009, Felizola released his new spring/summer collection titled Enamorada. Felizola took inspiration on the 1950s Mexican star María Félix. The designer said about this collection:

"Maria was in love with fashion. She understood that the art of dressing required, like every master work, unavoidable steps to reach perfection. The cuts and lines that emphasized her waistline and accentuated her silhouette were her trademark, just like the colors and richness of the garments' textures. Coming into the present time, fine silk gazaar feathers cut in a laborious maneuver, just like flares, embroidery, beading, pleats, French Chantilly lace and the most exquisite silks embody this collection."[3]

Seductrice"

Orinokia

Nicolas Felizola Spring Summer 2011 was Orinokia. The legends of El Dorado the city of gold and the Orinoco River have brought forward myths and fantasy that have outlasted the clutches of time.[5] [6]

2012 Cinetique

A reverence to the world of kinetic movement originated in Paris by great teachers of their time such as Carlos Cruz Diez. They served as foundation and inspiration to Nicolas Felizola. Conceptualizing in their different facets as the artist of the photographic lens, of fashion couture and of unique decorative pieces for the home, Felizola offers us his own version of a Kinetic for the 21st century. Cinetique transports us with its encircling magic lines that fuse in a focal point to emphasize the delicate female silhouette.

2013 MOOI

Mooi is Felizola's latest collection inspired by Rembrandt and Vermeer. These 17th-century Dutch painter's contributions to art came in a period that historians called the Dutch Golden Age. The end result was a richly varied handling of paint and deep layers.
