The rose is a romantic, but no wallflower. She moves through the world in femme fabrications, ethereal layers and soft girlish pieces, always with a little shadow at the edge. Her wardrobe is delicate, but not fragile - tulle, lace, cotton, ribbon and ruffle, offset by a sprinkling of the subversive. Ballet flats, fine hosiery and twinkly jewels complete the mood; sweet, yes, but with something slightly strange underneath. She covets Cecilie Bahnsen, Simone Rocha, Miu Miu, McQueen and Molly Goddard for her treasure-box wardrobe. Feminine, whimsical and quietly defiant, the rose dresses like a daydream, with bite.
