CICAEDIA, a word born from the mispronunciation of the insect’s scientific class, is a ready-to-wear fashion label created in 2021. It was founded by Sheryl Haut and the late David Rosenberg, and is designed and directed by Yitzhak Rosenberg. The brand was built on the belief that narrative lives not just in words or images, but in silhouette, construction, and atmosphere.

Since the beginning, nearly every aspect of the label has been executed solely by Rosenberg. Garments are sewn by hand, concepts developed in solitude, and visuals, castings, sets, and sound are all shaped under his direction. While strong creative relationships support the brand from the outside, there is no formal team behind CICAEDIA ; just a singular vision, managed and built with obsessive detail. The result is a body of work that carries one voice, but speaks in many moods.

The cuts remain consistent, sharp, structural, often severe, but the themes never repeat. Every collection begins with an emotional impulse and spirals out into a new world entirely. Aesthetic obsessions shift from season to season, often pulling from fashion history, psychological horror, medical imagery, religious iconography, or personal grief. The through-line is not subject matter, but tone. Mood dictates everything.

Atelier Cicaedia, launched in 2023, exists as the couture extension of the label. It houses one-of-one works, each a sculptural expression of emotional weight, restraint, and control. The garments are tactile, cinematic, and made to be felt just as much as worn.

Each collection functions as a complete environment. Lighting, styling, and sound are built to mirror the clothing’s emotional state. CICAEDIA is not about mass production or spectacle. It is about tension, intimacy, and immersion, garments that stay with you long after they’ve left your sight.
