Over these recent years Maria, Colombian trained lawyer and Paris fashion graduate, together with Ian, Scottish RCA trained textile designer, have been slowly building ROHKA.
With experience gleaned from years ‘in house’ at ROMEO GIGLI, VERSACE and MARNI, and later as consultants and art directors for HETTABRETZ, ONWARD KASHIYAMA, CP COMPANY, and MAX MARA to name but a few, they have brought a special insight to their own contemporary collection. Working and living in a 17th century watermill, just outside the fashion capital of Milan, a visual emphasis on their sophisticated prints and unique colour balance is combined with silhouettes which are simple yet iconic. |
Luxurious classics such as printed silk twill are combined with performance fabrics. Taffeta is woven from 100% recycled fibre for them in Como - a kilometre zero distance - as are cotton shirtings from Albini near Bergamo. Knitwear is worked with meticulous care in Scotland, where the water used for dying originates from Loch Leven and leaves the dye house so clean it returns to this RSPB wildlife reserve and protected area.
All prints are designed by ROHKA and are exclusive to their collection. photographs Karina Taira hair Pier Paolo Lai make up Alice Fayre |
