About Rossella Jardini

Her later eponymous collections combined classic tailoring with ruffles, pattern and decorative wit. Drawing on menswear, vintage jewelry and her own wardrobe, Jardini balances disciplined silhouettes with small disruptions that keep elegant clothing from becoming overly conventional.
