about
Fruity Venus is a New York–based womenswear label founded by Noah Pica and Paul Negron, designed and developed from their apartment studio in Queens and produced locally in the Garment Center. The collections emerge through close, sustained collaboration, with draping and drafting happening side by side and ideas refined through constant exchange. Shape leads the work, with silhouette acting as the primary driver of each garment. Fashion is treated as a way to think through larger ideas in small gestures, using construction and styling to respond to subtle cultural shifts rather than overt references. Each collection is built as a wardrobe, with pieces meant to mix, repeat, and evolve through wear. Fruity Venus dresses a cast of characters: the tomboy, the siren, the ingenue.
