“My style is feminine, easy and contemporary,” said Rosanna Ocampo-Rodriguez, 31.
Rosanna returned to the country in 2007 after acquiring degrees from Milan’s IED Instituto Europeo di Design for fashion and textile design, the Paris American Academy for French draping, and Milan’s Istituto Marangonio where she acquired a Master’s in fashion marketing and public relations.
Back in Manila, she didn’t waste time and started designing for Manila’s fashion elite, creating fun, unconventional and sexy dresses. She’s also one of the few new mothers who manage to still look fabulous despite their pregnancy.
