Fashion – Melbourne
Jacinta Raquel is an Australian emerging fashion designer who emphasises the transient beauty of nature through experimental textile technique and innovative design; with a focus on fluid drape and sculptural form.
She aspires to create evolving pieces of work which are created with passion, are of exceptional quality and unique.
A multi-disciplinary practitioner; Jacinta’s work meets at the crossroads of fashion, design and art; producing products which engage with the consumer on an intellectual, visual and sensory level, and move beyond the conventional ideas of ‘fashionability’.
Her design philosophy places an emphasis on womenswear with artisanal quality that focusses on the harmonious, habitual connection between hand and cloth, wearer and garment. Jacinta’s work has a strong narrative quality and focus; deeply rooted in the notion that garments are vessels- embedded with stories and history.
