Career

[edit]

Rose's costume design career began in the West End theatres of London,[2] following time spent on various theatre projects as a teenager in Windsor. She studied stage management while attending the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Due to her fluency in Italian, she acquired a job as an assistant and buyer for the high fashion label Fiorucci in Milan, which introduced her to important people in the fashion and film industries.[3]

One of her first film collaborations was with the director Alan Parker, when they worked together on the 1982 film Pink Floyd – The Wall. She again joined Parker on his directional projects The Road to Wellville (1994) and Evita (1996). Also in 1996, she served as the costume designer for Mission: Impossible, her first major action film in a career with many of them; by 2010, Rose was described by Deborah Nadoolman Landis as being a "recognized master of the epic."[2] For the 2004 film King Arthur, another large-budget production, Rose designed costumes that evoked "fifth-century rock stars".[4]

Rose began her collaboration with the director Gore Verbinski in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). To craft the look of Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), she drew inspiration from the illustrator Howard Pyle.[5] Nadoolman Landis describes Rose's design for Depp as "the iconic prototype for pirate wear, reviving a long-dead genre."[2] Rose returned to work on the second and third films in the Pirates series, Dead Man's Chest (2006) and At World's End (2007), which were filmed simultaneously.[5] Rose also worked on On Stranger Tides (2011) and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017). Rose again served as costume designer on another Depp film, The Lone Ranger (2013).[6] For 47 Ronin (2013), she oversaw the production of 998 costumes and 400 suits of armour.[7]

Rose received her first Emmy nomination for the 2010 miniseries The Pacific.[8] She has been nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Costume Design three times: for the films Evita (1996), Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006).[9]
