Rosettes have long been a sartorial flourish, an emblem of romance and power stitched into the fabric of fashion history. From the elaborate, beribboned court dress of the 18th century—where silk roses adorned the gowns of Versailles—to Elsa Schiaparelli’s surrealist takes in the 1930s, the motif has been endlessly reinterpreted. Today, designers from Marc Jacobs to Comme des Garçons, Christian Dior to Prada, are once again embracing the sculptural bloom, crafting rosettes in satin, organza, and silk faille that unfurl across runways with dramatic effect.
The beauty of the rosette lies in its versatility. Whether fashioned from a swath of chiffon, a crisp shirting scrap, or a length of grosgrain ribbon, it can be as delicate or defiant as you choose—an adornment that transforms the everyday into something extraordinary. Scroll for a trove of inspiration, and consider where you might pin, drape, or stitch your own.
Join us for an upcoming Rosette and Bow workshop at Circular Library on March 15th and 16th, 2025. Details to come!
