Rachel Comey is an American independent fashion designer based in New York City. She is the founder of Rachel Comey, a clothing, shoes, and accessories brand known for its "intellectual, arts-and-crafts aesthetic."

Early life

Comey was born outside of Hartford, Connecticut. In 1994, she graduated from the University of Vermont, where she focused on Asian studies, printmaking, and sculpture.

Fashion shows

Comey's first official fashion show took place in September 2001, days before 9/11, near her studio in Tribeca. The ad-hoc, menswear-only show was held on the street and featured models including Waris Ahluwalia and Devendra Banhart.

To present her Spring-Summer 2014 ready-to-wear collection, Comey hosted a sit-down dinner at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn featuring a performance by Justin Vivian Bond. Thus began a series of untradational presentations taking place at venues including Hauser Wirth & Schimmel in Los Angeles, CA. To celebrate the brand's fifteenth anniversary in 2016, Comey presented her Spring-Summer 2017 ready-to-wear collection on the sidewalk of Crosby Street in New York City, a nod to her first-ever fashion show in 2001.

In addition to choosing unconventional venues, Comey is also known for casting unconventional models in her fashion shows. For her Spring-Summer 2016 ready-to-wear show, Comey included "artists, eccentrics, dancers, and businesswomen" in addition to professional models.

Unisex line

In March 2017, Comey introduced a line of unisex clothing — "because clothes are for everyone."

Give in to your sartorial desires, Adri.

They are not my black flats. Or any of my other very cute pairs of flats. Just... no. Now I do have a pair of black flat knee high boots that I do - just don't get the chance to wear them much.

So...you're a flats gal, eh? Mmmm...

I lust women in flats. Less bulk = more sexy. Got a low-key closet foot fetish, so yeah. It's also the move for summertime. Let your tootsies breathe some air instead of being contained.

Wouldja rock these?

Love the leggings. I'd so wear those. Without thinking twice. The flats? They're not bad, altho I prefer ones that don't go over the top of the foot like that. At least they didn't do anything too too stupid with the toe. My toes are not stubbed flat or overly pointed. They also get points for not putting any stupid bows are decoration on them.

Yeah, flairs and gaudiness can be a tricky edge to balance. Like, these are kinda cute:

but...you're not really gonna rock those to the opera or anything. Well, ya could if ya wanna, who's gonna stop you?

I like seeing either pointed or rounded toe in women's flats, but I'd guess rounded is more comfortable. Also when they get old from use and become stubby, the tip of pointeds aren't as stylish as when they were new and crisp.

My shoes tend to be square-toed, I went through a pointed-toe phase in my twenties when I thought it was bangin'. It was, but those only look good with certain threads. I prefer versatility and utilitarian styles in my feets gear now.

Are these more your style?

[adrina]

Yup. No goddamn bells, bows, buttons, frills or ruffles. I freakin' hate those on shoes. Just give me a basic goes with everything I don't need to fuck around with it black flat.
