IFD: Anthony, you are an artist and creator of the Rossario George Brand- can you tell us a little bit about your design background?: I am a self-taught designer and expert in exporting and importing, and fabric and pattern selection. I have always been an artist (drawing) so I do all my sketches and designs. I then send them off to my team of manufacturers to create the garments to my specifications.

IFD: How & why you decided to create your own line?:

It all began when a company named Shop Vida reached out and asked me to design garments for them (prior to that I was creating fine art and home accessories based on my pieces). In the first year, I became a top seller, which gave me the push I needed to create Rossario George.

IFD: How long you have been in business?: Rossario George has been in business since 2018.

IFD: What is the story behind your brand? Rossario George is a lifestyle brand that creates ready-to-wear, couture (for all genders), 5-star rated, Leaping Bunny cruelty-free cosmetics and so much more. We are a brand known for our quality, uniqueness, and affordability. We cater to anyone who wants to feel luxurious without breaking the bank. I guess you can say Rossario George is for EVERYONE.

IFD: You truly are building a lifestyle brand! Tell us more about your cosmetic line: Rossario George started out in the cosmetic business with a line of gel nail polishes but has since expanded our collections to include the face, eyes, and lips. Our 5-star rated and Leaping Bunny certified lines can be found on its own website www.rgbeauty.store as well as online retailers Beauty Bridge, Walmart.com, and Amazon.com. RG Beauty can be found in-store at the Divalani Style boutique in Kirkland, WA. Lastly, we are also close to getting our cosmetics in another WA state location.


IFD: Do you incorporate sustainable practices and if so, how?

We take sustainability very seriously. We only have one planet and each of us has the responsibility to treat it right. We changed our business model from mass production to bespoke. We only create garments once they are ordered. This way we only use a limited amount of materials nor do we waste them.

IFD: What is this specific collection about for the upcoming Couture & Cars Fashion show?-what can the audience expect? We are exclusively showing the L4 Collection (L4 stands for Love, Laird, Leather, and Lace) this collection is a culmination of the many things I find inspiration in as well as things that have occurred in my life (Like the Laird part…I acquired the title this year due to ownership of land in Ireland).
