Raquel Allegra

Raquel Allegra has said in an interview that it was the constant “harassment” of compliments about her d-i-y shirts that motivated her to venture out into the world of design. Raquel Allegra’s knack for redefining and reinventing old pieces of clothing (e.g. old LA county prison shirts) has made her the hot new designer in Los Angeles.

We here at Shop Heist love her distinctive take on women designer clothing and are thrilled to offer a number of her shirts and dresses. One of the trademarks of Raquel Allegra’s clothing is the distressed, shredded fabric composition. The finely shredded shirt subtly reveals some skin, making it flirty but without losing composure. The shredded design also makes for some of the comfiest feeling fabric a girl could wear. These breezy, organic looking shirts are perfect for hot spring and summer weather, an optimistic feel from a bright designer.
