ABOUT

Rafaela Pestritu is a womenswear brand based between London and Bucharest, founded by designer Rafaela Pestritu, a Central Saint Martins MA Fashion Womenswear graduate.

The brand explores freedom, femininity, and transformation through garments that feel instinctive, lived-in, and emotionally charged. Draped sheers, distressed surfaces, trompe-l’œil prints, and reconstructed pieces form a language that shifts with the body—allowing clothing to soften, move, and escape rigid structure.

The brand has become a cult favourite among artists and performers, with custom pieces worn by Christina Aguilera,Charli XCX,SZA, Tyla, Ludmilla, Shakira,Shensea, 2NE1, Luisa Sonza, Jhene Aiko, Kylie Minogue, Karol G and many more. RP was also featured in the lastest Fenty Puma campaign.

With a mixture of one-of-a-kind pieces and a pre-order/ small stock, our garments are made out of deadstock materials that we print locally, upcycled embroidery, repurposed garments.

At its core, Rafaela Pestritu celebrates self-expression, autonomy, and the quiet rebellion of dressing on one’s own terms.
