Regaylia

SS23

Royalty, queer royalty is at the heart of the Regaylia collection showcased in June 2023. Alegría's first real love letter to their hometown of San Antonio. This swimwear premier was not just a singular collection, but rather 4 mini-collections presented as separate kingdoms to showcase the diversity of royalty found across the globe. Additionally, each kingdom biographs the opportunities and passions of the designers.

Regaylia showcases not only the designers talent for prints, patterns, and details, but continues to utilize the militant queer iconography they have come to be known for. Creating looks that function not only as swimwear, but additionally as armor to give strength to all the Kings and Queens within the gay community.
