~About~
A modern woman with a love of the past, Jessica Rose creates tailored semi-formal dresses and knit accessories in a style that combines a romantic spirit with a modern edge. Drawing inspiration from historical art and design, the aesthetic of her work holds an elegance and femininity that speaks to a desire to connect with another time in our everyday lives.
The entire collection is created in-house using the highest quality of materials and features hand detailing throughout. From cozy hand-loomed knits, to beautifully draped dresses, each item is soft, breathable and naturally sourced. Designed with wearability in mind, designs from a Resurrection of Romance are figure flattering, and versatile to easily go from daytime to evening.
~Biography~
Since the start of her fashion career designing and creating costumes in the basement of a small theatrical supply store at age 16, Jessica Rose has always been passionate about her work.
At only 19, Jessica was the top fashion graduate in 2003 from Toronto's International Academy of Design. Seeking a creative position in an inspiring environment, after graduation, she worked as a hat designer for one of Canada's top milliners.
While exploring the narrow streets and alleyways of Paris, France on a romantic holiday, inspiration struck, and a Resurrection of Romance was conceptualized. Seeking to bring the same aesthetic of old world foundations combined with modern design into fashion, Jessica created her first line of loom knit sweaters and accessories in 2007. By 2009, she was selling internationally and expanded the line to include classic fashion in the same modern romantic style.
Jessica Rose currently resides in Toronto, Ontario, and is a resident designer at the Toronto Fashion Incubator.
