Designer Rosie Assoulin Joins Alvanon Mentorship Program
New York designer Rosie Assoulin has joined the Mentorship Program at Alvanon, the software and sizing solutions company.
The program will assist Assoulin with building a foundation in statistical sizing data, technical design tools and training in production, supply-chain issues, fit, marketing and sales.
“Rosie is a perfect candidate for our Mentorship Program,” said Janice Wang, Alvanon chief executive officer. “She has been in business for just over two years and is already an accomplished, inspired and professional designer.”
Earlier this year, Assoulin received the Swarovski Award for emerging designers from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
“An equally important part of Rosie’s attractiveness to Alvanon is the strength of her business team, led by husband Max Assoulin,” Wang said. “No designer can work without effective support. Max brings vast business knowledge to the Rosie Assoulin brand. They work together—one creative, one business—two brilliant sides of the fashion coin.”
The Rosie Assoulin brand encompasses everything from sportswear to leisurewear to eveningwear. The self-taught designer interned at studios in Paris and New York and credits hands-on experience, “jumping in and figuring it out as I went along,” for her success. The collection, which is designed and produced in New York, is sold worldwide in department stores, boutiques and e-commerce sites.
“Alvanon has an incredible wealth of knowledge, scientific data and experience,” Rosie Assoulin said. “And it’s not limited to design or production. Their expertise covers virtually every aspect of the fashion business. Fit, for example, is something we are constantly looking to perfect. We’ll always be tweaking it to satisfy our customers and retailers, and with Alvanon’s help we will improve our fit skills right along with our creative and business skills.”
