Lela Rose, the New York City-based, American fashion designer widely regarded for her elegant aesthetic and fresh point of view, continues to redefine a sophisticated, yet modern lifestyle with her expanded, designer ready-to-wear-offering. Formally trained as a painter and sculptor prior to pursuing fashion design, Rose employs a brilliant use of color, rich fabrications, sculptural silhouettes and handcrafted details. Her artistic background is evident in her work and adds unexpected dimension and breadth to each season’s collection.

Raised in Dallas, TX, and based in NYC, Lela’s love affair with New York City began when she attended Parsons School of Design. As a designer, she has made it a central focus of her brand to base all possible apparel production locally, actively supporting a proven network of artisans, sewers, patternmakers, manufacturers, and small businesses based in her adopted hometown. The resulting collections strike an inimitable balance of approachability and refinement.

Today, her eponymous brand offers collections in the Ready-to-Wear, Bridal, contemporary and western spaces, for a true lifestyle expression.
