About Andreea Constantin Andreea Constantin is the Creative Director of Rhea Costa and president of the company she founded in 2009. Stepping into the fashion world just as old systems were starting to be questioned, the self-taught fashion designer has put her passion for innovation and conscious design into developing a forward thinking brand. One of the guiding principles of Rhea Costa is that of close to ”Zero waste design”, that Andreea Constantin effortlessly achieves by putting geometry in the service of a design that is both earth and body conscious. Her 10 years of intensive training in the sport of fencing have shaped her strategic vision and management style, while her fantastic mathematical mind translates now into great patterns and well-thought proportions for all bodies and shapes. Andreea had first stepped into the fashion world as a model, to soon get closer to the creative process by becoming the stylist of Glamour Romania and Viva! Magazines. In 2009 she created the first Rhea Costa dress, to be worn the red carpet and the brand was born, although Andreea had neither experience, nor studies in fashion design. The instinctive way through which she manipulated the fabrics when creating the first dress is still used today as fundament of each Rhea Costa collection. Andreea’s transition from one area of fashion to the other offered her a multitude of perspectives translated today into the philosophy of the Rhea Costa brand: Good design should harmonize with your figure to underline your femininity, it should stand the test of time in terms of quality and most of all, it should make you feel comfortable.
