In fashion, there are trend-setters and trend-followers, and there are labels that withstand the test of time, Ramona LaRue is one of those labels. Ramona LaRue is the creation of Coconut Grove native Arianne Brown. Having grown up hand-painting silk dresses with her mother, Mona, to sell on the streets of Coconut Grove, RLR was started by Arianne as a way to cope with her mother’s death and pay homage to her craft of hand-painted silk pieces. After experiencing many dreams with her mother, who guided her throughout the whole process, Arianne finally picked up the paintbrushes left for her by Mona. While her prints are now professionally transferred to fabric, each design starts with a one-of-a-kind silk painting, watercolor, or sketch and is signed by the designer, Arianne. Her bold prints and strong silhouettes beautifully compliment any woman’s body and bring out the strong, fearless confidence that Mona embodied, carrying on the legacy of a true Miami artist. ALL garments are designed and manufactured in Miami, FL.
