What the Silver A' Design Award Means
The Silver A' Design Award celebrates top-tier designs that embody excellence and innovation. This award acknowledges creations that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, reflecting the designer's deep understanding and skill.

Regarding Renaissance Trench Coat
Renaissance is a trench coat designed for both daily and evening wear. The coat is made of wool and has a magnetic closure. Further magnets are placed in the lining. Short handwritten messages on Tyvek paper can be attached to these magnets to change the look. The trench coat can be worn plain for work and then personalised later in the day. The design is urban and minimal in form. Sizing covers 34 to 42, or small to large. The intent is to offer one garment with two moods, from formal to playful.
About Adina Banea
Adina is not built for the ordinary. As an ENFP with destiny number 11 and AB Rh negative blood, her work emerges from a place where intuition, clarity, and emotional resonance collide. She’s a bridge — between logic and chaos, stillness and revelation. With a heightened sensitivity and a mind wired to redesign what others accept, she doesn’t create for trends. She creates from necessity — to express, to disrupt, to realign. Her presence is structure. Her creativity, instinct. Her life, a process of translating the invisible into something others can finally see.
Award Record
With this recognition, Adina Banea is a winner of 1 A' Design Award.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Renaissance, love and versatility. A beautiful story imprinted in the fabric, tailoring and concept of this trench coat, alongside all the other garments of the collection. The uniqueness of this piece is for sure the urban design, minimalistic touch, but what is really surprising here, it rather might be its versatility. Just close your eyes, please. Firstly, you should see a serious person who is going at her serious, blue job. Now, shake your head, and just in front of you you'll see a written blue trench coat. I've put some magnetic thoughts on it. Written by my hand. With love Reprobable.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration and the story of this piece comes from the idea that we are born from love, we make love with love in order to born a child only from love. With this idea in our minds and hearts, this fashion campaign took place in Jilava, a place used in the communist regime as a prison, where numerous political prisoners were destined to a slow and sure death, a place with a lot of stories to tell, as our designs have as well.
- Research
- The research was based on my inner search, a life lesson about love, all experiences put in one storyline for the collection. I wasn't looking for something creative as a must, I always put the accent at an emotional impact, since for me, fashion is not just about dressing the body, is also about dressing the soul. Thinking like this and choosing this concept for the campaign, I realised that the impact was different, since people reacted with empathy and smiles to the collection, embracing the idea of filling your closet with garments that suit your personality.
- Challenge
- The challenge was mainly making my way through the industry. The secret challenge of my Renaissance's Coat is his hidden magnets. I've put some there with my hand. After, I've wrote two or three words on my tyvek paper and..that was all for changing the style. " Faboulous!" I ve just said to myself when I was finishing the job. " This is the way I will never get bored with my lovely trench. An adult today, child again tomorrow, you always should have one more option. Even if we are speaking here of same coat. This is my challenge always.
- Realization and Technology
- The trench is made from wool, has a magnetic closure, and, on the other hand, a playful girl just placed some magnets in the lining too, in order to change the style passing through seriosity to a childish vibe. After, I wrote some happy thoughts on Tyvek paper and..kiss the lips! Work done!
- Operation and Interaction
- Is all about renaissance of the soul through love and through clothes. You can wear it like an ordinary must have trench coat in your closet, for boring working days! But this kind of trench can be transformed in a special one because it is full of magnets in the lining! You' ll be the star when night will come, because you have in your pockets the Tuvek paper which is handmade written and you will put it on your boring trench for an unboring vibe. That's all you need for a great and childish look!
