Society for Rational Dress

Corinne Grassini is a California-born fashion designer and founder of Society for Rational Dress. The line features shapes that are both flattering and feminine in both tailored and draping forms. Refined structured or billowy fabrics are often accented with Grassini's signature metal and leather works. This offers a structural contrast and makes each piece highly individual. These elements can be more than decorative--leather straps and chain harnesses sometimes serve the functional purpose of adjusting to different frames. The work process, distinguished from more classical clothing design, is a kind of industrial craftsmanship for Grassini. The result is the understated statement piece--simple but unique, part of a larger story but also easily stand-alone or paired with basics.
