-------excerpt from "Plenilune Magazine":

"Arielle Rose is a truly unique individual. An individual who lives according to her own rules and standards. While living and traveling in her personally renovated mini bus, Arielle sews one of a kind garments and accessories with her solar powered portable sewing machine. All of her creations are made under her brand, Cirkus Waggon Inventions. In her bus named Rosie, the designer tours around the west coast, accompanied by her two cats, inspiring and being inspired by everyone who crosses her path.
As a girl growing up in an artistic house in Santa Cruz, California, Arielle spent much of her time working on creative projects. The designer’s earliest memories are of redesigning and reconstructing dolls dresses that her mom, a full time professional potter, had gifted her. Her favorite game as a child was dress up, and with age it seems that the dress up Arielle had so deeply loved, evolved into the experimentation with fabric and sewing that the designer now calls her career.
Arielle’s latest collections were made for the 2013 Big Sur Fashion Show at the Henry Miller Library (you can find a video of the runway on Youtube) and more recently, the West End Fashion Show in Seaside. Her eight look collection for the Big Sur event consisted of only upcycled materials. Things that are often seen only as waste, like wine corks, ivy, driftwood, seashells, bones, orange peels, and crocheted plastic bags. Out of these materials the designer created highly unique textures and patterns. For the show in Seaside, Arielle made a dress entirely of assorted found feathers, another of lichen, another of old books, and more of woven tree branches. Her collection for the West End Fashion Show was made with the goal to make garments from whatever she found in abundance in the Nature surrounding her. For example dresses made by weaving branches together were inspired by her r desire to not waste what was cut after pruning fruit trees in the spring. Finding the tree branches to be extremely malleable and pliant she wove them by hand to create a stunning work of wearable art. The collections look almost like a hybrid between Alice in Wonderland and Lord of the Rings with a nature theme."
