RoseMortem.Com is the online boutique and gallery for artist and fashion designer Rose Mortem. Based in the USA, we ship our catalogue of designs the world over. ~ Rose has been drawing, painting, designing and creating fashion professionally since May of 1998 when she released her first commercial designs and launched her self-titled label. She has contributed as an artist, consultant and show coordinator on numerous occasions throughout her career, most recently specializing in custom fashions for touring musicians and working with independent films. Over the last ten years Rose has released countless designs, streamlining the current selection to reflect a variety of ideas from past and present inspirations. Music remains her most essential inspiration, which has resulted in designs heavily influenced by both music and musicians from ages past and present. In addition to Rose's fashion design work, she is also a long-time alternative music promoter, having assisted in facilitating US tours for some of Europe's leading underground artists and working extensively to promote US and non-US based musicians both at home and abroad.

PRESS RELEASE: The new Rose Mortem line (release date: March 2008) reflects Rose's love for the aesthetics of ritual and Christendom while also paying homage to the immortal essence of gothic rock. The men's line (modeled by none other than South Africa's own legendary indie musician, the exquisite Ashton Nyte) is heavily inspired by Roman Catholic liturgical dress yet incorporates the classic Rose Mortem velvets, satins and silvers for a priestly yet entirely otherworldly essence. Her women's releases are fresh from a Tim Burton fantasy: ballerina cut bodices paired with the macabre drama of ripped netting, jagged layered hemlines, and gossamer fabrics all adorned with a few tasteful black ribbons. These are the designs one expects to see on the dancefloor when Bauhaus graces the monitors - theatrical, entrancing, and always classically gothic. Photography:
