quintessential : Raquel Allegra

Rippled Coccoon Dress, handmade, thread by thread
(or rather de-thread by de thread)
isn't this semi transparent sheer fabric just breath taking ?


since a long, long time ago
(possibly triggered by Childhood Flames god bless that talented child )
I've been wanting to do the beggar look
the beggar look as in, ripped tees ripped jeans ripped everything

there's just something sexy about the unravelling mess of
intricate fabric threads
that thrills me

and then I found her


Raquel Allegra

she recycles LA county jail tees into these swooping draping pieces of art
as they move and transform with the body
Allegra is one of the contemporary designers that instills
a soul into her clothes
