about

 

des FILLES désir is a conceptual womenswear brand founded in Berlin, aiming for an innovative spirit in making clothes. A particular interest lies in creating unexpected silhouettes, volumes and textures that are proposed as alternatives to mass produced clothing.
Being part of the slow fashion movement, founder and designer Adrian Stoica offers skillfully crafted garments made to last. The label‘s name references girls of desire or longing and implies a lyrical approach to designing and thinking.

Our garments are usually manufactured only after receiving an order. This made-to-order approach avoids overstock and resources are only ever consumed when needed. We produce our garments in our studio or with the help of a small atelier in Adrian‘s hometown of Focșani in Romania. Every order is carefully crafted by skillful dressmakers, supporting the local community.

Adrian Stoica was born in 1991 in Focșani, Romania. He completed an apprenticeship in pattern cutting and graduated in conceptual fashion design at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle. 
Adrian subsequently worked in Berlin‘s fashion industry for brands like  BLESS. 

In May 2021 he founded the conceptual womenswear label des FILLES désir, participating on a regular basis in exhibition formats such as the Berlin Fashion Week or presenting his work in different publications.
Since October 2022 he teaches textiles and design as Artistic Associate at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany.
