About

I have been making clothes for as long as I can remember. This is how that turned into a label.

One Where it started

Before I could sew properly, I was already cutting things up

Most designers will tell you they started young. I did too. Old clothes taken apart to see how they were put together, then put back together differently, usually worse, occasionally not. I did not have the words for it then, but what I was doing was learning how cloth behaves when you refuse to leave it flat.

That instinct never went away. It is the whole basis of the collection you can see on this site. Nothing is printed, nothing is appliqued on top. The cloth itself is folded, cut into strips and stitched back down until it holds a shape on its own.

I wanted to make things that only exist because someone spent the time.

Two Norwich

Three years learning to do it on purpose

Norwich University of the Arts gave me the room to turn a habit into a method. Pattern cutting, draping on the stand, and the long slow business of sampling a manipulation until it works in the cloth you actually want to use rather than the calico you tested it in.

It also gave me CLO3D. Every piece in the graduate collection was built in 3D before a single length of cloth was cut. The render on the homepage is the oyster column exactly as it existed in the software, ruffle cascade and all, months before it walked.

I graduated in 2026 with First Class Honours. The mark matters less to me than what earned it, which was nine finished looks and a way of working I can defend.

Three The show

Nine looks, one runway, London

The collection walked at Graduate Fashion Week through Graduate Fashion Foundation. Oyster, slate, rust, ivory, and one piece that refused to be a single colour. Ruffles that run the full length of a lapel. Strips layered until they read as texture from ten rows back.

Watching a room look at something you made from a pile of flat cloth is a strange thing. It is also the reason I do this.

Cut to a body, not to a size.

The label, and what happens next

Eva Ros is the name on the door. Everything under it is made to measure, one piece at a time, with the same manipulation that runs through the graduate collection.

Any of the nine looks can be remade to your body. More often, people bring me something else entirely, a photograph, an occasion, a piece of cloth they have had for years, and we work out what it wants to be. Toile first, always. Nothing is cut in your real cloth until you have seen the shape on yourself and said yes.

I also take on freelance and studio work. Pattern cutting, manipulation, 3D garment development. If that is what brought you here, the contact page is the place.

The collection is nine pieces. The next one is whatever you bring me.
