Fashion memories: interview with young designer Andreea Pleșa
I have a thing with grey and cozy fabrics made out of wool and cotton, especially when the weather is not so friendly. Therefore, I could easily imagine myself in a Andreea Pleșa outfit, in the dark grey and black coat, with the beautiful details of over layered collar. I spotted her at Timișoara Fashion School, West University gala, and I wanted to know her better. We talked about outfits of tomorrow and sketches that marked her beginnings as a young designer, as well as about her graduation collection, Incomplet.
You could find Andreea Pleșa works on Facebook page or Instagram.
My journey in fashion world started with…
… curiosity. In 11th grade a colleague of mine proposed me to take a fashion design course with her. I was a little reserved, but out of curiosity I accepted. I’d never thought that I will get a college degree in fashion design. I think that was one of the best decisions of my life.
My graduation collection is about…
… the importance of memories in filling the gap left by the disappearance of a close person.
My first fashion sketch (ever) was…
… a princess. Like any other little girl who touches a notebook and a coloured pencil, I drew princesses with heart shaped tops, tiaras and high heels, but back then I didn’t know what fashion was. My first so called „fashion sketch” was a lady with denim jeans and a brown jacket, but seeing it from today’s perspective it really looks like a robot. (Smiles.)
Old school items that will always inspire me are…
… suits, they are so simple at a first glance, but so complex in terms of tailoring and details.
If my fashion mood board would be a city, it would be…
… New York.
Fashion would never be…
… dead. Fashion will always be alive, changing and recomposing.
I would wear one of my designs…
… anywhere. Every item I create defines me and shows me as I am.
I would like my signature look to be…
… minimalist. I mostly wear dark colours. My signature are my rings, I always wear them.
In my opinion, the outfit of tomorrow will consist of….
… freedom of expression and comfort.
The most extravagant thing I wish to design is…
… undefined. I can’t say which is the most extravagant thing I want to design. Everyday I have a new idea, I always want to make something new and to improve myself.
