Their customer is an individual who dresses with flair – she is a keen follower of fashion. Perhaps she works in the industry or another creative field. Age doesn’t define her, she is known for her personal style and the way she carries herself and she wears the clothes with her own expression. Some better known fashion/music mavericks who also wear and support Romance Was Born include; Cate Blanchett, Tavi Geninson, Nicky Minaj, Karen O, MIA, Lilly Allen and Bat for Lashes.
For Summer 2014 Romance Was Born unveil their incredible collection Mushroom Magic. The foundation of the collection begins as always for Romance Was Born, with the prints, and their collaboration with Tanya Schultz, the artist behind PIP and POP, provides endless inspiration for Mushroom Magic.
