About Episode Three with Rosy Nicholas

Lauren Godfrey chats with illustrator, accessory and prop maker Rosy Nicholas about Garfield roller skates, MTV and how clothes can change your mood.

Rosy has extensive experience of making patterns herself having done brand collaborations with Jigsaw, Estée Lauder, Vans and Lazy Oaf  as well as making an epic Grace Jones and Keith Haring inspired Mural for the now closed Ace Hotel in London.

Rosy and I got to know each other through strange circumstances - when my partner Alex Brenchley was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021, a friend put us in touch with Rosy who has been going through treatment for bowel cancer too. She has been a tremendous source of support and comfort for us and Alex and Rosy have formed a strong bond through their shared experiences.

Trigger warning: We discuss Rosy’s cancer diagnosis and treatment in this episode.

Rosy has chosen patterns by Versace, NAF NAF and Elegance Paris, as well as some vintage items with no labels.
