Raquel Allegra

Experimental, daring fashion, where style rhymes with noble materials and avant-gardism: this is the credo of Raquel Allegra, the Californian designer behind the women's ready-to-wear brand of the same name. Initially known on the fashion scene for her mastery of the "shredding" technique, which consists of removing a part of the garment, Raquel Allegra made a name for herself by designing pieces based on the outfits of prisoners in Los Angeles. A fashion that works on instinct, now declined in a complete collection of ready-to-wear, where the materials and dyeing techniques are worked to perfection by the Californian designer. Driven by the taste for beautiful things passed on by her artisan parents, Raquel Allegra designs the majority of her pieces in Los Angeles itself, where each of her tie and dye pieces is made by hand. Exceptional fashion can be found at Jane de Boy.
