Caracas-born Valerie Frangie worked for the likes of Tom Ford, Prada and Custo Barcelona before deciding to launch her own brand: a series of t-shirts, for any gender, with some of the most fun embroidery patterns we've seen. In fact, when we presented these pieces to our local audience in Santo Domingo, that trunk show sold out in record time, as everyone was able to find a favorite among the available patterns.

But there's something else that caught our eye about her brand: the cotton is creamy soft, which is doubly surprising, as it's actually upcycled fabric. So, count us among the brand's many fans: Valerie's t-shirts are as fun as they are environmentally conscious.
