THE DESIGNERS

CARINA ROSE

A fearless Scottish fashion designer and artist, Carina is the pioneer of Neuro-Couture—creating unapologetically bold, high-fashion collections through a proud neurodivergent lens.

Working from her studio in Doune, Scotland, Carina transforms forgotten textiles, including vintage lace and antique curtains, into breathtaking couture pieces that challenge convention. Her work is deeply rooted in Scottish heritage, folklore, ancestral craftsmanship and sustainability, resulting in powerful silhouettes that are as meaningful as they are unforgettable.

Her acclaimed collections, including In the Darkness There is Light and Mary’s Reckoning, prove that sustainable fashion doesn’t have to whisper—it can command the runway.
