Sixteen-Year-Old Fashion Prodigy Showcases Collection on NBC'S TODAY Show

Courtney Allegra, the youngest fashion designer to ever participate in Los Angeles Fashion Week, revealed some of her garments on America's number one morning show, TODAY. With designs beyond her sixteen years, the young designer's strong sense of personal style, edgy designs and charisma positions her as a strong force in the fashion industry. Designing since the age of twelve, Allegra was handpicked by NBC Producers as a Rising Teen Star to be featured on TODAY.

"I'm both flattered and thrilled to show a handful of my designs on such a respected morning show like TODAY," said Allegra. "And to sit alongside such a talented designer like Rachel Roy is a dream come true."

Inspired by her travels to Europe, the Courtney Allegra collection captures the fresh style of the young trendsetting locals in Paris and London. Their sophisticated street style is emulated in the intricately designed zippered tail coat, which when unzipped transforms into a short jacket with a statement leather collar, inspired by a dressage coat. Her strengths lie within her ability as a designer to mix textures in monochromatic looks by playing with luxurious leathers, wool and cottons translating the ease of the European downtown chic style.
