Art, Punk, and Slow Fashion with Raphaella Godoy

This week on The Lexy Show, we’re sitting down with Raphaella Godoy, the self‑taught fashion designer behind her eponymous slow‑fashion label based in Brooklyn.  Raphaella grew up in a creative family rooted in art and performance, and her work reflects that fearless spirit — a mash‑up of punk, goth, girly, camp, and maximalist energy that refuses to be boxed in. Her pieces aren’t made on an assembly line; they’re handmade, often upcycled, and infused with personality, blending tradition and rebellion in every stitch. 

In this episode, we unpack her creative journey from Mexico City to New York, how she’s built a one‑person fashion brand rooted in intentional design and sustainability, and why slow fashion isn’t just a trend — it’s a philosophy. We’ll dive into how Raphaella experiments with unusual textiles, reimagines scraps into statement pieces, and channels influences from queer subcultures, her heritage, and the artists who shaped her worldview. 

Whether you’re obsessed with independent design, curious about building a fashion brand from the ground up, or inspired by creators who challenge norms, this conversation delivers art, heart, and a little bit of chaos — the kind that sparks true creativity.
