Rosie Assoulin
Rosie Assoulin grew up in Brooklyn and always knew that fashion was her one true love. She dedicated her time to honing her skills, initially under the tutelage of her mentor and future mother in law, the veteran jewelry designer, Roxanne Assoulin, at Lee Angel. After a brief stint at the Fashion Institute of Technology, she found herself at Oscar de la Renta in New York City, watching the always elegant Mr. de la Renta drape, cut and pin his legendary designs. Later, Rosie sought out a life altering opportunity to spend time with the design studio Lanvin in Paris, where she bore witness to Alber Elbaz’s pure, unbridled creativity and unmatched design talent. Along with a few years in event and floral design, she found that every moment is an opportunity to cultivate her perspective. In late 2012, Rosie decisively turned back towards her first love, fashion, and her eponymous collection made its debut for Resort 2014. The Rosie Assoulin design aesthetic toes the line between the romantically fantastical and the reliably practical.

Tanya Taylor
Tanya Taylor is a New York based womenswear brand defined by femininity and eternal optimism. The brand brings modern, feminine shapes to life through an artful use of color and original prints. Each print begins as a hand-painting done by the Tanya Taylor team in their New York design studio. Playing with texture and movement, the brand lends a new desirability to ready-to-wear. Bold in color yet soft in silhouette, the collections promote a lighthearted attitude for women who celebrate the art of dressing.
Launched in 2012, Tanya Taylor is available at retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. The collections have been worn by a diverse range of inspirational women such as Former First Lady Michelle Obama, Tracee Ellis Ross, Beyoncé, Kristen Wiig, Aidy Bryant, Sandra Bullock, Gigi Hadid, Chrissy Metz and Olivia Munn. Tanya Taylor is an inclusive brand defined by a point of view, not a range of sizes. After collaborating with Aidy Bryant and Glamour Magazine on a red carpet look in 2017, Tanya recognized the need for a feminine and joyful voice in the plus size market and the brand is now proud to offer styles in sizes 0-22 each season.
