Introducing JEN and KAREN

Rhea Belle apparel invites two NYC designers to join the Rhea Belle landscape. Words from Jen and Karen...

"Jen and Karen are a made to measure design pair who live and work in New York City. Lending their effortless aesthetic to a select circle for two years now. They have attracted a loyal ever-growing clientele who affectionately hound the low-key pair for any injection of their perverse elegant style they can get. Jen and Karen have for the first time opened up their fantastic world with a limited offering exclusively to Rhea Belle apparel.

Inspired by the grace and innovation of Rhea Belle founder/head designer Jacqueline Skaggs, Jen and Karen were honored when approached to pioneer a collaborative effort, which is to become a new facet of Jacqueline’s burgeoning vision. Having researched the idea of a reshaped female silhouette the pair were excited to explore where the sensuality of this futuristic woman lies. They were not surprised that what they found brought them back to one of their long running mantras. Sensuality has no standard. Proud of that and in very familiar territory the two embarked upon a design journey that produced the creations we now have as Jen and Karen for the Rebel, Rhea Belle apparel."

(Please note that this is only an introduction. Four garments will be listed and prices established soon.)

$55.00
NEVER before has a mastectomy garment been offered that actually embraces the transformed body. This shirt was designed solely with my body landscape in mind- a single right side mastectomy. The soft sheer jersey cotton tie gently wraps the flat terrain- protecting, embracing and empowering it with style. Radical times call for radical measures. Thousands of women walk the sidewalks with post mastectomy bodies hiding them with prosthetics, frumpy over-sized garments and fear. I refused painful, potentially harmful reconstruction and the humility I find in the use of a prosthesis. I'd rather adorn my deserved body with beautiful garments and confidence and this piece is the first to be available for sale with such a brave bold statement.

If you haven't had surgery it's still going to be fabulous on you!!! Just fabulous. Wear it with glorious support for all the women with transformed bodies and spread empowerment. The photos show black with asphalt tie. You can choose your favorite color combo from the above chart. The wide tie can be made to embrace the left or right side. Please specify upon purchase.
