With a palette of orange, salmons, yellows, and pinks, Rina Andreatta is hoping to conjure up memories of summer. Her collection Forever Summer was inspired by the individuality of sunsets and drew from her personal memories, including time spent as a competitive swimmer and lifeguard. The collection includes swimsuits and cover-ups and uses materials like spandex, nylon, cotton, linen, and polyester blends. “I hope this collection takes people to a warm state of mind and has them wishing summer could last forever,” she says. Reflecting on her time at CCAD, Andreatta says she has grown immensely in her design aesthetic and as a person. “The skills taught at CCAD helped me design in a more professional way,” she says. “The courses at CCAD don’t just teach you technical skills, but also industry strategy.”
