UK Based Designer

Rose Corps brings a unique way to dress sustainably. Colourful and intricate concepts which are hand-crafted from dying to printing to construction. Bringing a traditional, artisanal feel to contemporary pieces which will be treasured in any wardrobe.

Rose Corps was founded by Naomi. Fashion Design School had left her passion deflated with so much emphasis put on “scaling up and acquiring more workers for your concept”.

Personally, all she ever wanted was to “make clothes and express” herself. With no real plan she began to sew garments. Rose Corps was born! Transitioning into sustainable fashion allowed Naomi to “take it easy” and “focus on how much fun fashion can be”.

The importance of sustainability for Rose Corps was inherited from Naomi herself. She herself tries “to stay away from plastic and single use, mass manufactured products”.

However, it wasn’t straightforward to start Rose Corps as a completely sustainable brand and Naomi admits she “didn’t think it was possible”. It was through struggling to find the right fabrics that she decided to “dye and print” her own!

Inclusive design encompasses the brand, designing silhouettes comfortable for a range of body shapes. Intricate prints associated with the brand are loved by customers.

As Naomi states, “It still amazes me that my sketches can turn into wearable art”.

Looking to the future for the fashion industry, Rose Corps feels that “transparency is key, with the word ‘sustainability’ becoming a trend, it feels sometimes like the truth isn’t as important”.

Within this, Naomi recognises the need for sustainable brands to share the reasoning for design decisions. For example, using organic cotton received criticism that the “organic aspect just raises the price for no reason!”. It can be difficult for brands to find a way to communicate the sustainability issues surrounding certain fabrics and the decisions they make to combat them.
