In the summer of 2008, Raquelle dreamed of a dress, which she then had made by a seamstress friend. Passing an outdoor cafe in the West Village of New York City, she caught the attention of a perfect stranger dining outdoors. Upon seeing the dress, the woman ordered 3 of them on the spot!
Raquelle immediately headed 38 blocks north to the best fabric store in the city, walking away with enough fabric to create more designs from her imagination.
That very fabric was spun into the first collection.
