about
Pica Negron is a New York–based womenswear label founded by designers Noah Pica and Paul Negron. Our collaboration grew out of our experience in design, tailoring, and patternmaking, and a shared love for the discipline of making clothes. Through a consistent studio practice of draping, drafting, and experimentation, we develop every garment in-house, allowing a distinct language of shapes, proportions, and construction techniques to evolve across collections.
Rooted in American sportswear and our upbringing in sunnier parts of the country, the work embraces color, separates, and an optimistic approach to dressing. Rather than reproducing wardrobe staples or designing around prescribed themes, we reconsider familiar garments through unexpected grainlines, manipulated proportions, and unconventional material combinations. A coat cocoons. A skirt twists. A bustle's volume blooms. Each piece offers something specific, without sacrificing the ease of getting dressed.
Our tightly edited collections contribute to a growing wardrobe, spanning everyday separates and accessories to more elaborate eveningwear. The clothes are expressive without becoming theatrical, balancing the rigor of their construction with a lightness of spirit.
Paul brings a background in tailoring and outerwear across luxury and contemporary fashion, while Noah's experience spans womenswear, bridal, eveningwear, and sculpture. Together, we develop each garment by hand, from first sketches to finished patterns, collaborating with specialized factories in New York’s Garment District for sampling and production.
