Catalina Negara is a London-based upcycling designer, art director, and stylist from Moldova, creating one-of-a-kind garments and accessories that extend into a larger visual world. Her practice is rooted in transformation, reconstructing discarded materials into pieces that feel instinctive, tactile, and deliberately undone.

 

After a decade working as a floral designer, she is now shifting her practice into the fashion landscape, carrying with her a deep understanding of sculptural structure. Years spent shaping and composing floral arrangements continue to inform her approach; organic structures translate into silhouette, and colour is treated as something instinctive rather than decorative.

​

Her work is driven by an obsession with shape, contrast, and visual rhythm, as well as the movement of the body. Pieces are designed to respond to motion; to shift, distort, and come alive when worn. Nothing is fixed; everything is reworked, layered, and pushed until it feels alive.

​

Alongside garments, Catalina is focusing on accessories, treating them as the final, decisive element of a look. Not an addition, but a resolution; the piece that completes the puzzle, or quietly disrupts it.
