About the Designer:
Rose Mae Turner is a Chicago based designer. After graduating from Dominican University in 2008, she started her own line: Rosina~Mae. Named after her grandmothers, Rosina Maria Talano and Bivea Mae Turner, Rose has always admired the creative and talented people in the family. Rose’s design inspiration comes from various things. Sometimes she is inspired by the street and what is happening around her; such as in politics and in the media. Other times architecture and specific shapes catch her eye, and often she finds inspiration from dreams. Rose has learned not to just wait for inspiration to occur; rather, she seeks it and initiates it herself
The lifestyle of the Rosina~Mae customer varies. Rose designs for ambitious women with busy lifestyles who typically frequent social events and high profile parties. “She's a woman that lives for adventure and is a jet-setter. With that being said, she is ready for anything that comes her way.” Many of the Rosina~Mae pieces are functional and transform to adapt to the events the wearer attends.
Who is Rosina~Mae?
Statement by the designer in reference to the type of woman who wears her clothing…. “She’s a witty, adventurous, rebel. She’s a socialite and a party girl. A nonconformist, she’s a true “fashionista” and also a mysterious sort of woman, that when she walks into the room heads turn. She’s effortless and free… simply flawless. She’s a dreamer and an optimist. She feels just as hot and confident in bright colors as she does in black. Everyone whispers in awe and wonders who she is and what it is about her that sets her apart. They all want to know her / be her. She is the next IT girl… and on her way to superstardom!!!”
