Piero D’Angelo is a Fashion and Textile Designer based in London exploring how biotechnology could influence fashion in the future.
Piero D’Angelo studied Textile Design at Central Saint Martins and Fashion Womenswear at the prestigious Royal College of Art. His material exploration led him to experiment with living systems, including Slime Mould applied to fabrics and fashion, 3D printing and rapid prototyping as well as speculative bio-mimicry.
His work is a new definition of Couture, where users can grow their own outfit and wear living organisms, an innovative perspective on design combining science, technology and bio-design.
Piero was awarded the Dorothy Waxman Textile Design Prize in 2015 and the Imagining Sustainable Fashion Award in 2023. He exhibited at the Saint-Étienne Biennale in France and has been a resident at Open Cell, a biotech start-up community in London. He’s a semi-finalist of the LVMH Prize 2020 for young designers.
