DESIGNER

Our Founder

Rossina, a Peruvian-born immigrant and founder of this female-owned business, is living her American dream. Arriving in New York with her family in 1985, she sought a better life and seized the opportunity to design for renowned fashion houses. Years later, Rossina embraced veganism, which transformed her perspective on animals and the environment. Motivated by this shift, she embarked on a mission to introduce sustainable alternatives to the fashion industry. In February 2021, Rossina officially launched Vannesa Rossi, offering modern designs that prioritize premium sustainable materials. Today, she resides in Queens, NY, driven by her unwavering commitment to make a positive impact and revolutionize the harmful aspects of the fashion industry.

Every product in our brand is guaranteed to be 100% cruelty-free and sustainable. The meticulous process involved in creating these biomaterials adds value, ensuring that you receive the finest sustainably sourced materials for your collection. With Vannesa Rossi, you can enjoy exquisite craftsmanship without compromising your ethical values.
