MEET THE DESIGNER: Dara Rosen
By CeCe Shelburne
A native of Long Valley, New Jersey, 23-year-old Dara N. Rosen currently aims for a career in evening wear and, in particular, the bridal market “where I have the privilege of creating ‘the dress’.”
Earlier this year, Rosen graduated from the Pratt Institute, with a BFA in Fashion Design and a roster of honors including the school’s Outstanding Achievement, Excellence in Academic Achievement, and Pratt Circle awards, after making the President’s List all eight semesters.
Other wins include high placements in last year’s Ralph Pucci Paper Garment Design Competition (shown right) and Goldsmith Evening Wear Competition.
“I merge classic elements with unconventional inspirations and innovative detailing,” says Rosen and, in her Supima capsule collection, “am very much enjoying the process of exploring the fabrics’ varying properties.”
At Pratt, her faculty mentor for the Supima Design Competition was Karin Yngvesdotter.
See her capsule collection at 1 p.m. on September 8, when she shows as part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Lincoln Center.
