COLLECTION 01

Parallel Play

Collection 01 marks Pica Negron’s first collection. It was developed slowly over several years as an exercise in close collaboration. The collection is about finding a midpoint between two designers who had never worked this intimately—sketching and draping side by side, testing each other’s instincts, and learning where ideas could merge rather than compete. The garments favor sleeveless silhouettes, lightweight volume, and ease of wear. Bustle shapes are expressed without excess structure, allowing volume to feel fluid rather than precious. Utility elements contrast softer forms, while a distinctly American palette of strong color grounded by rich kah. Designed as a wardrobe, the garments are meant to mix and repeat, balancing youthful energy with clarity of construction. Fabrics range from satin wools to slub-jersey knits, and the intimacy of the process is reflected in a look book shot entirely within the designers’ apartment.
