Rose Hill Designs

My kids rebelled they all got degrees, & you got a first at Chelsea',
according to my dad, who loves the hippie lifestyle, it was clear from an early age that I was creative & going to do something about it. To me it was natural, I thought everyone was instinctively creative. I thank my Grandma who, in an age when women weren’t meant to work, became an incredible designer & dearly wanted my mum to be the same but it was me who followed in her footsteps.

I grew up in the 80s & was the only retro kid at school, inspired by the 50s, fancying Elvis, going to Rock ‘n’ Roll dances in prom dresses while the rest fancied Jason Donovan & wore shell suits. I kept up with the times although the next decade for me Was the 60s when at sixteen I embraced the Mod attitude. Now I bring together the best from these exciting decades & the 00s to shape & form the way in which I design. I love to see the whole picture & then hone in to explore the many different facets within. Always researching, discovering & pushing to further myself but then draw the attitude & energy
from the eras that still have a profound influence on me & many others.

Previous experience:
Her degree was in textiles, which has influenced her work through the use of colour & pattern, & still is a very important part of the process in her designs.

The first commercial commission was for Kay & Charles Saatchi to make a dress for their daughter’s 13th birthday. Then followed some other very prestigious commissions from the fashion editor Amanda Eliasch & Charlie Allen the tailor that designed the 2010 England World Cup kit.
