Jose Ramón Rocabert already had plenty of experience under his belt before he produced his first prêt-à-porter collection. His achievements include training alongside some of the great names in Spanish fashion. He has worked as creative adviser to Amaya Arzuaga and with Locking Shocking. After completing his course in fashion design at Madrid’s Polytechnic University, he began to create and distribute his own line of accessories, called Malagüero. His own firm ROCABERT was set up in March 2002 and made its début at the third edition of Barcelona’s Circuit in September of the same year. His collection for the spring-summer of 2003 demonstrated excellent pattern-design skills.
In February 2003, Rocabert presented his second collection for autumn-winter 2003-04, also at Circuit, when he also launched a limited edition of 850 bottles of his first fragrance ROCABERT FLUID a# 1.
In June 2003, he took part in the exhibition and catalogue “Behind the Mirror of Spanish fashion” at Madrid’s Reina Sofía art gallery.
He first appeared abroad at the prestigious Paris showroom HORTENSIA DE HUTTEN in October 2003.
September 2004 marked his début on the CIBELES CATWALK, where he presented a spring-summer 2005 collection entitled “Love at first sight”. Madrid remains his choice for the launch of future collections.
Indebted to tradition and yet an enthusiastic risk-taker, Rocabert is something of a modern classic. Sensuality and serenity, discretion and daring, purity and complexity are contradictions he is not afraid to embrace.
