Since 2008, Karelle started making "fast fashion" as a reaction to the recession going from 43 boutique clients to 3, so she gathered all the fabric from past collections and used them to make quickly made couture pieces. 

KREL 2 go — Quickie Couture is a bespoke fashion project by fashion/textile designer and performance artist – Karelle Levy.  Karelle fits her fabrics to the body’s specifications within the hour or less. The finished product is captured by Polaroid and added to the KREL-2-GO album. A moment captured on a personal and now rare medium. These tongue-in-cheek ‘Quickies’ are of course fun with the performance becoming a shared experience and therefore something quite special. The on-going documentation is now into the 4th album. Karelle has fitted and collected the images of over 2,000 custom made on the spot pieces. This series of instant portraits are intimate vignettes of the clients, friends and fellow artists, all of who are modeling their own piece of wearable artwork. ‘KREL 2 go’ has popped up around the world, as Karelle takes her practice to art fairs, boutiques, galleries, parties and private venues.   The photographic albums are an archive of that connectivity. Row upon row of neatly arranged Polaroid images, many light faded and slightly washed out.  This experience allows any person, any age, gender, and size, the chance to have your own one of a kind piece by Karelle.
