Dress for yourself.
Rosie Rose is a second generation artist, daughter of clay sculptor Lynn Williams and batik artist Jenny Gies. Growing up in the diverse, cultural melting pot of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, Rose was immersed in a creative landscape which shaped her viewpoint to be colorful and eclectic. The beautiful environment of the Ozarks was also an influence and led to a deep respect for the Earth. As a child she inherited her mother's love for fashion, spending hours going through her closet, poring over Vogue magazines and sketching her own dress ideas.
In early adulthood, Rose worked as a jewelry artist, creating intricate beaded necklaces and earrings sold in galleries around northwest Arkansas. Then in 2007, she began her education as an apprentice to master designer and tailor Mark Hughes. Sewing came naturally and became her new love.
In 2011, shortly after the birth of her first daughter, Rose founded her handcrafted clothing brand. It was originally called Deconstructika as it was initially focused on deconstructing and remaking garments, but as the product line grew to include other items, the brand was updated to be called Rosie Rose Designer. Selling through Etsy, she sold clothing to customers all around the world, taking custom commissions from Japan, France, Canada, Spain, and more.
Rose has showed her work at 4 Northwest Arkansas Fashion Week runway shows, twice in 2017 and twice in 2018, as well as at the Fort Smith Fashion Project in 2017 and 2018. Rose uses models with a diverse range of sizes and body types as well as trans models and drag queens in her runway shows.
In 2017 Rose was honored to win the Black Apple Award for Favorite Fashion Designer, from Idle Class Magazine.
Rosie Rose creates wearable artwork which is high quality, comfortable, and has very little environmental footprint because of zero-waste cutting techniques, and utilization of green materials like bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton. But most of all, she wants people to enjoy wearing what makes them happy. Life is too short to worry what other people think. Clothing should be fun.
Rose currently lives in Prairie Grove, Arkansas with her husband, two daughters, and cat, Stitch.
You can find her children's line of clothing available at Material Concepts boutique in Fayetteville, AR.
