Catherine Andreozzi

Catherine Andreozzi is a fashion designer, artist and educator whose work balances the juxtaposition of new manufacturing paradigms with traditional artisan skills. Through hands-on inquiry and experimentation, she discovers new forms of expression, blurring the lines between fashion, art and technology. She co-designed and taught the RISD Global travel course India Sensed, which fosters collaboration between RISD students and artisans in India.

Andreozzi has consulted with engineers at the Harvard Wyss Institute on a soft robotics glove and at MIT Media Lab on interactive domestic objects. She also co-developed and taught the courses Designing Space Gloves for NASA and Pack Your Bags! We’re Headed for the Moon. Her work has been fueled by a concentrated exploration of broader usability issues, including an extensive analysis of wearable functional apparel, accessories and textiles that cultivate advancements in wellness and healthcare. Her current work explores the intersection of identity, ritual and the ever-evolving landscape of digital existence.

Andreozzi has exhibited her work internationally, including runway collections at the 3D Print Show at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, London and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Her artwork has been exhibited at the China Millennium Monument Art Museum, and digital renders have been shown at the RISD Museum. Under her label, she has shown collections in Milan, New York and Hong Kong Fashion Weeks. Her individual and collaborative work has been featured in magazines and publications such as Vogue, WWD, ELLE, Designboom, SuckerPUNCH Daily, Surface, Artnet, Hyperallergic, People, Huffington Post, Montreal Gazette and The Vancouver Sun, to name a few.
