Can I tell you...about the Rafe New York Fall / Winter 2020 collection.
by Isabella Martinez
A collection reminiscent of the sleek geometric motifs of the Art Deco movement, the Rafe New York fall and winter 2020 collection is filled with rich textures and jewel tones masterfully paired with embossed leathers, shell inlay, supple suedes, and panne’ velvet.
When asked about the inspiration behind the collection, the Creative Director and Founder Rafe Totengco explained, “I’ve always embraced the vintage aesthetic and this collection draws a lot from muses like Bianca Jagger and Sayoko Yamaguchi as well as designs from the 1940’s when women carried elegant vanity cases and wrist purses.”
A poetic ode to the powerful tastemakers and rulebreakers of past generations, the designs of the Rafe fall and winter collection echo the individuality of the flapper girl and style of a 70s socialite. The New York based brand drew inspiration from the rich and exuberant embellishments of the past while paying homage to its very city with structured silhouettes akin to the Chrysler building.
