For the past 17 years, we have been making costumes for feature films, theatre, ads and TV shows. DADA is the only Romanian company that manages to make costumes for successful productions from all over the world. Year after year, in our own workshops.
We're proud to have worked with costume designers nominated for the Oscars or the Caesar awards. We are proud that the DADA workshops are mentioned on film credits such as: Cold Mountain, Le Perfume, Nunta Muta, Johanna the Pope, Chucky, Le Concert, Borat, Mirrors, Anaconda, Highlander or Beowolf.
These productions gave us the opportunity to contribute to the image of several great actors. We measured and dressed up Dustin Hoffman, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, Steven Segal, Wesley Snipes, Elizabeth Hurley and many others. DADA is a world of films and costumes, of fashion, of a creative and sophisticated lifestyle. The artists feel great with us, as we understand, love and help them.

"In 1985, when I signed the costumes for my first film - "Domnisoara Aurica" - I didn't dream that I would ever be able to get my own workshop.
Nowadays, the Fabrika DADA workshops have their own building and offer all the comfort and logistic assistance for the designers who wish to produce the costumes they create. The specialized tailors form the same team we built back in 2003. We gained experience by working with designers from various countries who all had what to teach us. Oana PAUNESCU, owner DADA

In the DADA workshop, our alchemist tailors are prepared for any type of project: long features, TV ads and productions. All these need a large range of skills, which involves a complex team: designer, illustrator, pattern cutter, tailors.
The working method, which prepares the creative solutions, is very rigorous and well-timed: the script is studied in detail, we carry out research regarding the styles and fabrics, we discuss with the stage designer or even with the director. |
The basement is reserved for the printing workshop, but also for the patina workshop. The DADA team works with young "patina" artists who, by using specific tools, bleach and re-dying, manage to make the clothes look as if they have been worn for many years. After the clothes come from the sewing machine, they get holes, cuts and patches.
Ground floor: The restaurant - showroom, the perfect place for a business lunch or simply a coffee break. The DADA restaurant is also a concept-store for those who wish to multi task during their meal. 1st floor/ 2nd floor: The clothing workshop, the place where you have high chances of meeting the film crews: the designers, the production assistants, the tailors, the film costume pattern cutters, etc.

The manufacture of film costumes and accessories covers 60% of the activity of our workshops. The costumes made in the DADA workshops are made for film productions from France, Germany, Spain, Morocco, Italy or Romania. For certain productions, we made hundreds and even thousands of costumes.
Sa Majeste Minor - 2007, |
A costume first comes to life in the sketches of the DADA workshops designers. After it's completed, a theater costume consummates its artistic existence and then is forgotten in a storage facility.
But for us, it always has a concealed energy, a force that starts from the passion with which it was designed and made. Each costume leaves behind - for each tailor or patter cutter - a story, a memory. |
