    Maybe you’ve been seeing some new, beautiful dresses on your favorite celebrities. You know, those dresses you thought were Zimmermann but not quite as preppy? At least that’s what I thought when I first saw a Raisa Vanessa.

    ”Who makes that dress?! I need it now.”

    After some deep diving, I found Raisa Vanessa is known for more than just beautiful dresses. They make fashion-forward, modern clothes in all categories: Pants, tops, and even outerwear!

    Who Founded Raisa Vanessa?

    Raisa Vanessa is the eponymous brand founded by twin sisters Raisa and Vanessa Sason. The two are from Istanbul, Turkey, but they went majored in theater and costume at the London College of Fashion. After college, they presented their first collection “CRYSTALLIZED” at Istanbul Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SS’14 show.

    Since their debut, Raisa Vanessa’s designs are seen in luxury boutiques, red carpets and celebrities’ Instagrams. It’s their “modern and empowering” apparel that earns them all praise.

    Raisavanessa is all about strong shoulders and embellishment – They make clothes that can easily transition from day to night.

    I personally love them for their unique cut-outs, bold colors and sexy silhouettes. Nearly every Raisavanessa piece I see I covet! I’m excited to keep up with them as their brand continues growing.
