Fashion designer Rose draws inspiration from the vibrant energy of European street markets for her latest collection, incorporating workwear staples with playful touches of humor and animal print glam. The collection features a mix of sturdy fabrics like cotton, leather, and faux fur, reimagined with unexpected details like zippered bum bags as epaulets and reversible coats with mismatched buttons.
cast her eye over that staple of European city life, the street market , and its colorful cast of characters ranging from the loudmouth traders to the curious customers shuffling their way through stalls piled high with bananas, oranges, discount socks and underpants.
“I’m still curious about funny, outsider-y characters, and how to communicate personality with clothes,” said Rose during a walk-through of the collection in her north London studio. Her signature humor was out in force.“It’s men’s staples, with a lighter touch,” she said, and she wasn’t kidding. Men and women alike wore tight Y-front underpants which came in fuzzy animal print, or dyed cotton. Rose treated them like trousers, slipping a belt with a silver buckle around the waist.
She used zippered bum bags as epaulets on cotton coats or as patch pockets on the arms of hefty parkas and wide-leg workwear trousers. A long leather coat had utilitarian cinches and pulls, like those on a ski jacket or windbreaker.
