Launched in 2016 Vaquera is modern punk, it is fashion as fan fiction, it is both ends of the lasso – carefree D.I.Y passion and a deep reverence and engagement with fashion as well as social issues. Vaquera started in 2013 as fashion fan fiction, a way for founder Patric DiCaprio to explore his obsession with clothing. Since 2016, with the addition of Bryn Taubensee and now in partnership with Dover Street Market, that fantasy has become much more real. Vaquera means cowgirl in Spanish, after a nickname Patric was given while washing dishes. The name now represents a New York now Paris based collective making garments for the characters of their city, both actual and imagined, and their very real customers across the world.
