Rowes Fashion I (Rebecca Rowe) the founder and head designer of Rowes Fashion have been working in fashion since I was in high school...and before that. Duct taped seams and leopard print spandex were involved so we try not to remeber that. I mean, it is public knowledge, seeing as how I would wear them in public. (I was never the one to be ashamed of what I wore. Especially if I had made it). I was lucky enough to have a family who supported my dreams, even if it-meant letting me out of the house with nothing but a duct tapped rectangular piece of cloth around my body. Thus when it was time, fifteen years later and no duct tape in sight, to start my own line, my family was behind me all the way. It only seemed fitting to pluralize my last name to create my brand. It;s hard enough to start a company, even harder to do it alone, which is why I am proud to say that Rowes is a full family affair. We specialize in women's wear although with my brother's breathing down my neck for clothes it might not be too long before I get guilted into menswear. From day one all we've ever wanted to do was make women feel comfortable in their own skin, giving them the tools to be able to express themselves the way they want to be expressed.
