Amy de la Haye's The Rose in Fashion: Ravishing explores how the rose has inspired the way we look, dress, feel, and fantasize. Wild yet cultivated, savage yet delicate, the rose has remained an enduring symbol. From elite 18th century woven silks to the latest gender-neutral catwalk trends, the rose in fashion has referenced love, beauty, sex, sin, gendered identities, rites of passage, transgression, degradation, and death. de la Haye is a fashion and dress historian, writer, and curator. She is a professor of dress history and curatorship at London College of Fashion, joint director of the University of the Arts Centre for Fashion Curation.
