About Happiness Is Suit
Happiness Is is a women's suit that combines pleated trousers with a matching shirt. The trousers carry many pleats on each leg, and the pleats form large pockets and give the garment a distinct structure. The shirt is cut to leave part of the shoulder open. The suit is made of natural cotton with custom finishes. The gray tone keeps the outfit simple and easy to combine with other pieces. The suit is offered in one size, suitable for small and medium figures. The design was developed in Bucharest between April and June 2018.
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
With this recognition, Adina Banea is a winner of 3 A' Design Awards. The awards were granted between the 2017 - 2018 and the 2019 - 2020 editions of the A' Design Award & Competition.
