Style, fashion and design are nothing new for Rhode Island. However, Rosanna Ortiz Sinel is laser focused on placing her stake as visionary of a new form of showcasing talent - and people are noticing.
Rosanna Ortiz Sinel is the Founder and Executive Director of StyleWeek Providence. The former co-founder of a Washington, D.C. boutique public relations agency-she has specialized in fashion public relations since 2001. Rosanna created StyleWeek Providence as a vehicle to get Providence on the fashion destination map as well as form a path for fashion talent to reach the mainstream. Rosanna is originally from southern California but now considers Providence home and firmly believes that this city has the potential to showcase emerging and established designers.
With overwhelming success following the inaugural June 2010 StyleWeek, StyleWeek Providence will now be a bi-annual event allowing designers to debut their seasonal collections in June and January-closely echoing the industry standard. This season, Rosanna also reached out to fashion forward celebrities such Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen from the TV hit show, The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo TV, and asked them to be the Ambassadors for Style Week.
Get ready for a week long event and stay tuned for what StyleWeek has in store for you as StyleWeek continues to stand alone as a runway launching pad for fashion, design and culture. This is reality. Are you watching Andy Cohen?
