The first works which Rake exhibited in a visual art context were related to her experience of the fashion world. These include For Virginia (1994), a dress made of dried jasmine petals sewn together, and Hairy (1994), an all-over suit knitted from synthetic fabric which has the appearance of curly dark hair, and which covered the whole body, leaving only apertures the eyes, nose and mouth, as well as those areas where hair is "legitimate" on a woman—the head and the crotch.Šepetytė, Danutė, "Gražu tai, kas išnyksta", Julius, 23 March 1996, p. 5Jomantienė, Irena, "Taking art by the short and curlies", Lithuania in the World, No.3, 2001, p. 49
