Armando J Caruso
Hello, my name is Armando Caruso and I’m an aspiring menswear designer.
As a designer I tend to focus on the everyday. To create garments that are both functional and sustainable while maintaining a hand crafted element that signals the human touch. My design ethos is informed by many mediums, from performance art to sculpture to philosophy.
Since my enrollment at the Academy of Art, I have become most comfortable working three dimensionally. Whether it be draping fabric on the dress form to manipulate shape or choreographing movement in real time, I’m most stimulated through my interactions and reactions with my environment.
Through the use of multiple media, primarily film projection and installation art, I hope to transcend the connotation of what it means to be a fashion designer in the 21st century and beyond.
