Rachel Freire

Self taught in pattern cutting and tailoring, London-based designer Rachel Freire has never studied fashion. Her influences stem from her love of historical costume combined with futuristic imagery. Behind the dramatic silhouettes and decadent embellishments, the pieces are designed to be wearable, durable, feminine and flattering. Freire and her team also undertake specialist commissioned projects ranging from bespoke couture pieces to entire show creation.

I deeply admire Rachel Freire’s unique approach to fashion and the care she takes in crafting her garments. I had no idea she was self taught as well?

I can’t believe she isn’t formally trained- these pieces are beyond amazing! As a side note, that model is beautiful. She wears the pieces beautifully.

This is rather amazing. I could totally see Lady Gaga wearing some of her designs!

Absolutely beautiful, I can see the historical references, it reminds me of an Edwardian ball dance with a bit of S&M thrown in for good measure (and I mean that in a complimentary way!)
jazzy ♥
