about
Fruity Venus is a New York–based womenswear label founded by Paul Negron and Noah Pica. Our collaboration grew out of years of hands-on work in tailoring, design, and garment development, and an ongoing conversation about how our peers actually want to dress.
We return often to the language of uniform: shirting, suiting, and technical outerwear. These familiar pieces are reshaped into sculptural silhouettes that hold space around the body. A coat cocoons. A skirt twists. A bustle’s volume blooms.
Structure matters to us, but so does ease. Our collections are designed to move through a real day, from crowded subways to long studio hours to late-night drinks. Fashion and utility sit side by side. We make clothes for people who care about fashion and want to live in it. Fruity Venus is for those who are powerful, intellectually curious, and comfortable taking up space.
We founded Fruity Venus to bring our two approaches to clothing into dialogue. Paul draws from years of experience in tailoring and outerwear, working across luxury, contemporary, and retail brands throughout the New York fashion ecosystem. Noah’s background moves between design, patternmaking, and sculpture, with experience in women’s RTW, bridal, and eveningwear alongside an active studio practice.
Together, we approach clothing as both craft and proposition. It is structured enough to shape the body, but open enough to let the wearer define it.
