“VR is my attempt as 1. a Parisian, 2. a Royal College of Art post-graduate, 3. a fashion designer and 4. a (collage/assemblage) visual artist to mix street & couture, with a museum twist. Making art wearable and democratize what’s otherwise unaffordable” — Raf Reyes®®

Endorsing his role as a master of symbology, Klimt was famous for subtly reflecting images of flowers and circular lines *amongst other things* 👨🏼‍🎨🖼 .. this GOLD-flak’d hat (100% pure gold flakes — contained in an art-déco inspired glass bulb held by macramé white-and-gold thread) draws on the fragile balance of strength, virility and masculinity on one side, & femininity and maternity on the other. it exudes a sensory conception of the imperial, powerful presence of the Greco-Roman goddess of wisdom, Athena, and the inability of humans to fully grasp their sometimes-complex psyches. simultaneously evoking feelings of abandonment, ecstasy and delight, conveying psychological ideas of tenderness and warmth, the lovers [at front] appear like frozen (with)in time, soon-to-be bonded in an unbreakable embrace, intertwined on this spherical frontal plate yet on the edge of an Abyss 👀®®👁.: the ‘La Palette Et Le Rêve’ bucket hat = digital to analog layering of 11+ visuals total (prints, embroidery, patches…).

The inspirations/flick behind ‘Pyscho’ itself aims to portray a self-indulgent and hedonistic Wall Street elite of 1980s New York in a certain light/under a certain prism 💠 this VR®® piece asks again nd again ‘how real and rare r U?’, ‘is being seen in the right places, with the right people, looking the right way etc. just a(nother) display of tha hollowness of tha Self after all???”.. like model citizens in a breakneck society: workin’, makin’ money, spendin’ it. truly really, veryrare’s ‘Psycho @DORSIA’ statement piece is a satire about how humans compete with each other in a hyper-real universe We created 🩸🩸🩸🩸.. go cop‼️ .. it’s my gReaTeStt*!¡ honor 2 present U V®️R®®'s newest piece/and first-ever pant!} ‘Nameless Namekians//Light Of Death’ mediumweight 280gsm cotton twill ‘JiNO’ (hybridiz'd cut+fabric’d jogger <-> chino) 👖.. drawing inspiration from my childhood/teenage years watching anime all the time before going to elementary school and shit 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸 dis really helped 2 shape my early yearZ innit foreal the scene in which Piccolo fires up his secret ‘Light of Death’ technique out of pure desperation and emotion (nuclear energy — vital ‘ki’ energy — like, unequal balances of power and shit) 💠.. seems like what touched you from before smh always finds u back years after..! 🔱⚜️ nd yh, dis clearly stuck [up until now]. I was really drawn to the whole Akira Toriyama//japanese//DBZ dragon ball Z (folk)lore. *notably the planet Namek somehow, a planet that’s somewhere in a trinity star system in the manga, located at coordinates 9045XY within the Universe 7.

Our view on clothes

The concept behind VERYRARE c/o RAF REYES™ is to reference Design’s history and signal its existence within the colliding worlds of archive and 21st-century fashion. Selected visuals feature different universes ranging from collector 90s aesthetics to contemporary sub-and surculture imagery. Put on steroids or low-fi’ed for a fresh & reimagined clothing style, opposing ideas speaking to one another, and turned into very rare pieces. Read our full history here
