TR E by Natalie Ratabesi
L.A.-based designer Natalie Ratabesi, 41,
eschews dainty dresses for empowered
separates. Trousers are cut every which way—a
zipper here, a pleat there—while jackets come
with a surprise drawstring, equal parts form and
function. They’re classic pieces that seem to
say, Don’t underestimate me. “I’m not exactly a
newcomer,” says Ratabesi, who’s worked
everywhere from John Galliano to Oscar de la
Renta. “But being part of the Fashion Fund
is incredibly exciting.” TRE by Natalie Ratabesi
