Interview with Rochelle Corino (Rumple Munkeh) – Designer (Project Ethos)

Tell us about your style and where you draw your influence from?
I love vintage Hollywood glamour and cultural influences. I try to capture that giddy feeling a little girl has when she plays dress up with every outfit I create.

What has being a designer taught you?
Being a designer has taught me how to apply creativity in everything I do in life in general. Fashion has also given me another avenue to help people. One of my main goals is to change the world through fashion – one garment at a time by working with various charities and donating a portion of my sales each season. Being a designer has really strengthened my voice in matters.
