The Rikki La Rouge Fashion House.
The show case Curated by Rikki La Rouge

welcome to the . It took a very, very long time in order to do it right and to present it but finally I have. It is me totally in every piece of clothing that’s in this fashion line.
I love fashion and it was a dream of mine to do a fashion house and I thought that the only way I could do that was by creating the line for paper dolls and virtual fashion games.






My fashion house is a mix of couture, rock n roll, and so much more. It is also vegan and cruelty free. Not only does it have couture fashion but it also offers designer shirts with my own illustrations.






My love of Cuba and Miami and my support of a free Cuba from Communism and the regime is also very evident as well. Not only are they influence and inspiration but Willy Chirino is too and he is also my muse.
There is a gown in my collection called Musica Latina it is inspired by Cuba B.C. which stands for Before Castro. Another piece is a ruffle piece inspired by the things singers wear that look like that with a Cuban flag draped over it.
Sometime ago I had gone to a shirt store and designed a t-shirt with the Cuban flag on and wrote the title of Willy’s anthem for a free Cuba on it. His music is also greatly influential on my work. For example he has a song called “Collar de Clodomiro” and I created a necklace like the way it was described in the song. It took a long time to finish because it had to be perfect and it is now a part of the collection. All of the men’s clothing are designed in a way I would imagine that Willy would wear.
I have two shirt designs one is called “un Cubano Libre” which is a guayabera and Cuban cigars that are not from the dictatorship. Another shirt design is of a coffee table in Miami with a book of the works of Jose Marti, dominoes, Cuban coffee, a cigar, and the Flag. It is for a shirt and a handbag and I call it “Miami Cubano”.
I got the idea to do a purse, bag, or pocketbook in the shape of a jar and it is really a great idea.









A lot of these are very cool designs. I must say like one of my favorites that I did was the Rings of Saturn dress which is like you have the pictures of Saturn around the dress and also the rings that are steel. You have the four aces shirt and just a bunch of awesome, really cool designs that I came up with that. I’m very proud of it.






The blue suit with all of the cuquins and stars is a variation of one of the first fashion designs I had ever created. The original was done on the bus going home from school one afternoon. The outfit next to it is in black and it is a black jumpsuit i made out of a costume dress. It is actually the only piece I had ever made and was able to wear it. I took a pair of jeans and did the bottoms like that and I sawed it up by hand and it came out looking very good. Doing that piece was the only time I had ever made one of my designs wearable in the real world. My fashion house is dedicated to Prince and Gianni Versace who were my entry into the world of fashion.
