PARIS - based Rose Anne Cu-unjieng de Pampelonne is set to be the next big Philippine fashion star, if she isn’t one already.
Her bejeweled accessories or “cuddly ornamentation” as she likes to call them, were recently featured in In Style (modeled by pop superstar Rihanna) and Elle. This month, they get prominent exposure in Vogue (Rachel Weisz on the cover) in the magazine’s jewelry report.
It was also in that same magazine that she was featured about two years ago as one of Paris’ “secret addresses” for her embellished clothing designs, which are made in Nepal. She is again cast in the spotlight as her accessories are making a big dent in the creative and crowded world of international fashion.
Last June, I was in Paris to interview and photograph this design powerhouse for this newspaper and for the cover of the Philippine Tatler which comes out this October. We did her shoot and interview at one of the homes she designed, a gorgeous and tony two-story apartment with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower.
I have known Rose Anne for quite some time and whenever I go to the City of Light, we manage to make time for catching up. She is always very accommodating and kind-hearted. She loves to entertain and hobnob with the city’s ultra-chic crowd.
The last time I was there, the wife of Louis Vuitton chair and chief executive Yves Carcelle, Rebecca, was giving Rose Anne a birthday party. Invited were some Filipinas like the very lovely Yvette Lhuillier-Warnod (Monique’s beautiful sister and a carbon copy of her mom Amparito) and Ria Agousti whose furniture and accessories are sold in Barney’s as well as in Paris.
Rose Anne’s passion for creativity and sense of style has always been innate. She has taken lessons in painting in Florence and design in Paris. A good friend prodded her to open an interior design company upon seeing her work on the apartment she was then living in.
