Sixteen-year-old fashion designer, Courtney Allegra garnered buzz when she unveiled her eponymous ready to wear collection for Spring/Summer 2013. The young designer’s strong sense of personal style, edgy designs and charisma positions her as a strong force in the fashion industry. Designing since the age of twelve, Courtney Allegra’s drive to excel blossomed as she turned her passion into a business when she began to produce her designs. Inspired by her travels to Europe, the Courtney Allegra collection captures the fresh style of the young trendsetting locals in Paris and London. Their sophisticated street style is emulated in the intricately designed zippered tail coat, which when unzipped transforms into a short jacket with a statement leather collar, inspired by a dressage coat.
