The STORY BEHIND OUR ONGOING FASHION THEME
Born in Hollywood California, Vanessa Françoise Rothe grew up in the artists colony of Laguna Beach, CA, the daughter to a well known German clothing designer to the Stars, Detlev Rothe, and her French mother Jacqueline Ricaud, a fashion model and French translator.
She would come home from school to find Ron Wood or Kenny Loggins in her living room playing guitar with her father, and was soon was painting on silk to make custom jackets for the Rolling Stones with their iconic lips logo. From sewing on coconut shell buttons to vintage Hawaiian shirts in her fathers sewing workshop to learning about vintage rugs, to hand painting silk shirts and jackets, she was immersed in fine art, music, decor and fashion from the start.
In high school she was taught how to sew by an older seamstress in town as well as the family vietnemese tailor Nha Quang Vu, and was soon sewing her own prom dress and later designing her own wedding gown. While she worked as an art director and graphic designer in Switzerland for 6 years, she traveled and learned more about fabrics, and art. Back in California She sold her limited edition and one of a kind creations online as one of the first online shopping experiences as well as to dozen retail stores such as Rebel in Fashion Island Newport Beach. When online shopping first began she created a small business making limited edition fabric hand bags they called "Bagette" with unique vintage fabrics from around the world.
VANESSA ROTHE FINE ART + FASHION EXHIBITIONS and EVENTS are the result of this creative upbringing and her constant need to create, be it with paint or textiles, and her desire to bring the two mediums together.
