Rachel Freire
"Working with ECCO Leather is like being in leather heaven. I think they really approach leather making in a different way and their technicians are really creative and expressive. I love how I can use a natural product made with natural processes to create completely new look."
With a background in fine art and costume design, London based designer and Central St Martin’s graduate, Rachel Freire’s collections manage to combine the intricate with raw simplicity. The designer credits her love of historical costume combined with futuristic imagery as one of key inspirations.
Rachel’s debut fashion collection was presented at London Fashion Week with On|Off in February 2009 at the Science Museum in London.
Her work has also been featured in such fresh & forward publications as AnOther, Issue One, Dazed and Confused, Illustrated Ape, and Juxtapoz.
