Why Rowen Rose is worth it
Rowen Rose does retro power dressing with a wink: padded shoulders, belted polo dresses and bold prints, all made in Italy and hard to overlook.
Tailoring is the backbone, with strong padded shoulders, signature buttons and cinched waists, and the jersey polo dress, belted at the waist and lightly padded at the shoulder, is its calling card. Spotted prints and leather-look pieces in croc emboss or sharp pleats push the polish toward drama, and every piece is made in Italy.

About Rowen Rose
Emma Rowen Rose, born in Paris to a Spanish and Polish family, founded her label there in September 2018. She wanted a daring kind of elegance: classics twisted just enough to unsettle them.
Tailoring became its signature, especially structured shapes with strong shoulders, with cinema and poetry as recurring references. Clients kept telling the brand that strangers stopped them in the street, and that reaction became part of its identity.
