Adrian Aviles

Rhode Island School of Design

Adrian Aviles is a designer and creative technologist whose work blends speculative fashion with real-world material innovation. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Adrian draws from his background in apparel design and biomedical engineering to reimagine how garments can hold memory, identity, and emotion. Working under the name Avidron, his thesis collection Chorus of Circuits explored a future where clothing becomes a second skin for survival—built from remnants of the analog world and shaped by grief, code, and transformation. He’s collaborated with NASA on advanced spacesuit prototypes and worked with independent brands like Made By Mena to translate concepts into wearable systems. Across projects, Adrian combines hands-on making with tools like CLO 3D and Blender to develop silhouettes that feel both human and machine. Deeply rooted in Latinx culture, his work also reflects a desire to rewrite its narratives—fusing tradition, subculture, and digital craft into something entirely new.
