Rasario is one of those names that shows up on a red carpet before most people can place it. The gown is always the same idea done well: a sculpted corset, an open back, and yards of light fabric that move. Here is the house behind it, and where to find it.

Who is behind Rasario?

Rasario was founded in 2012 by Rasida Lakoba. Lakoba grew up in Abkhazia, in the South Caucasus, and she has said the women she knew there are the reference point for the label. The house built its name on cocktail and evening dresses, and on the bustier in particular. Each piece is made to order in the Rasario atelier in central Moscow.

What is Rasario known for?

The signature is the corset. Rasario boning is precise, the bodice is fitted close, and the skirt is where the drama sits, in chiffon, silk and fine viscose. Backs are often left open and tied. InStyle has described Rasario as a Hollywood go-to, and the label is a regular on the red carpet. Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez have both worn it.

Is Rasario a luxury brand?

Yes. Rasario sits in the couture and occasion category, with made-to-order construction and prices that reflect the hand finishing. The dresses are designed for weddings, galas and red-carpet moments rather than everyday wear.
