BALLET ROSA
Ballet Rosa was created in 2010 by Luis Guimarães and Adão Coelho, although the origins of the company date back much earlier. Luis Guimarães has been designing and manufacturing dancewear since 1998 after he decided to take up dance classes. There, he developed an immediate admiration and appreciation for the art form that has stuck with him ever since. Combining his lifelong experience with textiles, industrial design, and manufacturing with his newfound love for dance, he set out to work with dancers to create a new and exciting line of products for ballet.
The first collection, Ballet Rosa Essentiels, received enormous praise by dancers and dance retailers alike. The Essentiels collection allowed dancers and dance teachers to create exactly what they wanted, offering a choice of six different materials, more than 125 different colors, and many other customizations that made that every single style unique. Through this experience, Ballet Rosa learned exactly what dancers wanted, so it was time to bring the brand to a new level.
In Paris, a city known for its sense of fashion, design, and taste, Luis meets Isabelle Ciaravola, a world-renowned Étoile dancer from the Paris Opera Ballet. Isabelle’s experience as a dancer with one of the most well-respected ballet companies in the world is merged with Ballet Rosa’s expertise and the Createur collection is born. The result is an exquisite selection of designs and seductive shapes never before seen in the ballet world.
