About Adina Banea
Adina is not built for the ordinary. As an ENFP with destiny number 11 and AB Rh negative blood, her work emerges from a place where intuition, clarity, and emotional resonance collide. She’s a bridge — between logic and chaos, stillness and revelation. With a heightened sensitivity and a mind wired to redesign what others accept, she doesn’t create for trends. She creates from necessity — to express, to disrupt, to realign. Her presence is structure. Her creativity, instinct. Her life, a process of translating the invisible into something others can finally see.
Award Record
Adina Banea is a winner of 2 A' Design Awards, including this recognition. The awards were granted between the 2017 - 2018 and the 2019 - 2020 editions of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The suit was thought of as an essential fashionable piece, but you'll still have the option to attach a belt-on peplum over the jacket, which will change the original rankings entirely. This youthful addition has a cold intake and conveys of free vibe and a unique signature too. The pant has a magnetic locking that turns a classic panty into Peter Pen's trousers. The same magnetic locking will be found on the sleeve outside the wrist to achieve the integral unit and the color accent visually.
- Inspiration
- It may seem like a paradox, but the whole concept is base on the positive experience of unlocking the negative emotions we do not know in the conscious way that we exist. For this collection, I spent a day and a night in the room where our greatest politician, Marshal Antonescu, was imprisoned, and whole this experience taught me to describe the real human's needs for being a free and untrained person. I entered Jilava Prison space like a humble servant, and I came out like a real winner.
- Research
- In all the attempts at getting rid of myself, we will always find something new about ourselves. For this collection, I searched for my characters, as usual, different past times, thoughts, or principles. I tried to find the perfect suitable colors, warm nuances, which together, forming this whole unit, succeed in expressing positive emotions. Once discovered, acceded or understood by ourselves to the end, seen with the naked eye, all that stuff will be perceived by those around us, too.
- Challenge
- Hopes and Beliefs talk about different moods and emotions, and personal kneels, intellect, and dilutions, that don't remain forgotten in a subconscious who never knows a soul. Reprobable always realized a limited series production that will never reproduce. As you can not reproduce the living for the first time of a child's emotion being, similarly, you can not reproduce tomorrow, the understandings already were undone about you. We have a product that dresses a body beautifully, dresses assumed, the soul too.
- Realization and Technology
- Mostly, Reprobable works with his fabrics. Fabrics used to use in the food or sanitary industry, for example, industrial and not fashion niche, purchased directly from the manufacturers, is passed through a series of specific finishing procedures, so we manage to transform an atypical fabric into a fashion one. For the raw materials achieved, the colors will be decided during this whole creative process. Till the end, Reprobable will get its signature, from all points of view.
- Operation and Interaction
- Once upon a time, instead of waking up today,I woke up stupidly, in my day off yesterday.That was the day when, for the first time in my life, I felt fear.I deeply overwhelmed one single question.Did I dare to die already?And I felt the touch of eternal loneliness.No cure, no end. Even hopes were dead.Then suddenly I found myself an incredible force,somehow, help me to open my eyes and at that moment I saw a lot of lights and cross ads.So,hope and soul are alive,I am here with a reason,no doubt.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was started in April 2019 in Bucharest, and finished in June 2019 Bucharest too.
- Specifications
- 36 to Maximum 42 Italian size, considering that a larger size would not look aesthetically well. Misses steampunk costume style, including Victorian-inspired puff-sleeve jacket, belt-on peplum, jodhpur-style pants in two lengths, and peter pan collared dickey.The costume is suitable for both daily work and a romantic dinner, it is versatile and mysterious, dress the body in a sensual way , being easily adaptable from all points of view, to any situation.
