Rose Danford-Phillips

Contemporary womenswear designer Rose Danford-Phillips creates bold, painterly garments and accessories inspired by nature, for striking women with artistic flair and an appreciation for luxury. 

Raised by a family of gardeners and artists, a love of the unrestrained, maximalist beauty of nature lies at the core of Rose’s work. In her clothes, Rose expresses nature in a truthful, personal way - the beauty of wild movement, colour, complexity and the teeming life it holds. Inspired by this emotional reaction, Rose seeks a return to meaningful ornament and decoration in her clothes by fusing nature with fashion and art. Vivid collaged prints are the foundation of every collection - Rose sources imagery from 16th century Dutch flowers and portrait paintings, 18th century scientific botanical illustrations, modern photographs and her own abstract paintings, and merges them seamlessly into bold artworks. Her artworks are applied to luxurious silks, eco-friendly organic cottons and sumptuous velvets to create garments that are both beautiful and practical for the modern woman.

London-born Rose Danford-Phillips graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2017 with a fashion MA after completing a BA in textiles at Chelsea College of Art & Design, where her love of material and craft emerged. Danford-Phillips debuted her eponymous label as part of the House of Peroni with her AW2019 collection, and showed her SS2020 collection with on OnOff at London Fashion Week. Rose and her work has been featured in Vogue UK, Vogue China, and Vogue Netherlands, as well as Wonderland, Hunger, Glamour, ID and Dazed, as well as being worn by Erykah Badu and Halsey.
