In true New York City style, VAQUERA is distorting notions of luxury by turning fashion into fan fiction. The ready-to-wear label has become a cult hit since its 2013 founding by American designers Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee, who have a shared love of reverie and the avant-garde. A freedom to play with different styles and characters shapes the label’s defiant and evolving nature, guiding capsule-like collections filled with camp, grunge, and glam. With a carefully honed theatricality, VAQUERA embraces irreverence through clothing that tells a story.
