Cicaedia; a word created from an initial mispronunciation of the scientific class of which the insect Cicadas originate, is a Ready-to-wear fashion label created in 2021 by Yitzhak Rosenberg, founded by Sheryl Haut and the late David Rosenberg.

“Fashion design is my life’s canvas, weaving together a myriad of disciplines that endlessly inspire me. Clothing and sewing, styling, accessory design and creation, graphic design, and even set production. For someone like me, who thrives on variety, it’s liberating. When I tire of one craft, I pivot to another: welding intricate metal jewelry when I’m tired of staring at my sewing machine, and creating psychedelic art when I’m burdened by my fashion sketches; My love for this art form is boundless, encompassing everything from sewing to building full-scale set façades for my shows. In theory I could build an entire house for the models to pose from. I’m often inspired by fashion history, like Gianni Versace, a genius whose life and vision were cut short, leaving behind a masterpiece unfinished. Like him, I aspire to build a narrative through collections, crafting an archive that echoes through time. 

I love stories, whether it be a story about my own life and personal trauma, or a story based off of a film or a book, or even just simple images; It’s all about immersion, and for me that can even expand beyond the clothing, visible in my set design and production, even soundtrack. I love being able to look back at something in time and take something from it, not trying to replicate a moment in time, but rather try and innovate a concept into the feeling of today. For me, it’s a movie you can pull out of your closet.” - Yitzhak.
