Our Story

Founded by Arkeida in 2019, Classy Rebel Design marries ready-to-wear with a touch of nerdy flair, proving that a stylish wardrobe and geek chic can go hand in hand. Based in New York City, our design philosophy revolves around quality over quantity, focusing on impeccable craftsmanship and timeless elegance rather than rapid, mass production. Inspired by both vintage charm and contemporary trends, each piece is a unique blend of classic and modern. In addition to our signature collections, we offer bespoke creations, including custom gowns and costumes, ensuring that every design is as unique as our clients. At Classy Rebel Design, we believe in making every garment a statement of individuality and style.

Playful, stylish, and just a touch nerdy.

Arkeida brings years of experience from the NYC fashion scene, having worked at notable companies like Victoria’s Secret, Aerie, Macy’s, and Madewell. Her expertise in design and technical aspects ensures a keen understanding of constructing and creating wardrobes that reflect individual personalities.

Specializing in intimate apparel but passionate about all things fashion and fandom, Arkeida has honed her skills in designing, pattern making using 3D technology, and creating size inclusive clothing.

She understands the personal impact a well-crafted wardrobe can have, and has been actively creating in the digital space to reduce her carbon footprint.
