Andrea Renosto, born December 19, 1991, is an Italian based designer.

Raised during the 90’s, Andrea got to know earlier Tomb Raider video games and cheerleader-themed movies rather than clothes and fabrics.
He spent all his childhood’s winter days and summer nights drawing sat in front of the television. His favourite themes: princesses in evening gowns, fluffy cats and mermaids.
He firstly approached to fashion at IUAV University, which he graduated from Fashion Design in 2013.

His aesthetic grammar is filled with popular culture common themes and clichés, referring to both bad and good taste iconic figures.
Looking at his childhood memories and background passions, his line bases on the classical garments construction and details. Key-words: irony, fun, bad taste.
Andrea is fascinated by Good Manners, foreign cultures, and sparkly and shallow stuff.

“If I had to choose any job but fashion I would be an ice-cream dealer. Or a pop star singing about ice creams." [email protected]

Latest Collection

VENUS: Enséñame a maullar

Tokyo, 1995. The blondie 3D-videogames-warrior Sailor Venus is kidnapped and catapulted into Beverly Hills, side by side with her kitten Artemis. The heroin will have to make her way through the glossy college hallways in California, full of spoilt hairbrained cheerleaders bullying her. Which blonde-beauty will be the prom Queen?

The collection investigates those two worlds' cliches where, letterman jackets, seifukus, sartorial suits, basketball tank-tops and slip dresses are the main characters.
Fabrics play on contrast: technical neoprene and nylon on a hand, crunchy wool and glowing silk on the other one.
Bad taste plays an important role: sequins and emboideries, inspired by Dutch Delft Ceramics are then treated as tribal tattoes and videogames from the early 2000's.
Then surfaces are covered in flashy leather, shiny mirrors and hand-knitted pastel fur.
Play and provocation. Kawaii.
Bad taste becomes construction.
