Rosangela Rocha

Born in Brazil, Rosangela’s passion for fashion and style began at a very young age—designing and sewing clothes for her dolls, and a little later, for herself and her siblings’ children. Rosangela’s designs are an expression of her life experiences – rising from humble beginnings by way of her incredible determination and drive.

Rosangela worked for a time in television, but realized that the celebrity life was not what completed her. She took her life in a completely different direction and moved to London without speaking a word of English, worked as a waitress and enrolled in an English speaking school. Within little time, she ultimately enrolled at the London College of Fashion.

In her first year at university, she interned as assistant fashion stylist for Extreme Makeover UK edition. In 2007, she completed a summer program in fashion at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. In 2008, she was an intern for Roberto Cavalli Corporation in New York. Rosangela graduated in 2009 with a degree in Fashion Design and Textiles from the London College of Fashion. Love brought her to Dallas, Texas, where she now lives and works.

Rosangela takes pride in her tenacity and perseverance, strengths that are reflected in her work and her desire to create fashion that endures the test of time. “My line is designed to empower women,” says Rosangela, “I want them to feel confident, strong — like the most beautiful women in the world—when they wear my clothes.”
