Senior Collection

Rio Rakish | Current Project Ongoing (completion my May 2026)

​

Rio Rakish is a vibrant, sun-drenched collection that celebrates freedom, movement, and playful sensuality. Inspired by Brazilian street culture, coastal living, and youthful rebellion, the collection embodies carefree confidence and unapologetic joy. Where Brunette Bombshell is controlled and dramatic, Rio Rakish is expressive, spontaneous, and alive. The color palette bursts with saturated hues—coral, turquoise, citrus yellow, tropical florals, and warm earth tones—reflecting beach landscapes, surf culture, and lively city streets. Silhouettes are relaxed yet flattering, featuring mini dresses, breezy separates, lightweight knits, and body-skimming summer fabrics. Texture and pattern play a major role, with gingham, florals, and handcrafted details adding charm and individuality. This collection is flirtatious but effortless, emphasizing movement, sun-kissed skin, and the joy of dressing for yourself.

​

The Rio Rakish customer is a 18–30-year-old creative, social, and trend-aware woman who prioritizes comfort without sacrificing style. She is drawn to warm climates, travel, music, and culture, and her wardrobe reflects a laid-back yet expressive lifestyle. This customer shops for everyday wear, vacations, festivals, and casual social outings. The price point sits within contemporary ready-to-wear, making the collection accessible while still design-driven. She values versatility, personality, and garments that feel fun, confident, and easy to wear.
