Hi there. I'm Sharon Aronowitz, owner of Dusty Rose Design. My love of fabric, color, and pattern was born in my childhood when my father would bring home textile samples, and take me to the art department at his job at in the fashion district of Manhattan.
After Studying graphic design in college and then going into freelance silk screening for a few years, I decided it was time to her to start my own line of tie-dye clothing. While coming up with a name, I chose "Dusty Rose," not only after the sultry shade of pink, but also after the name of her grandmother. After seeing the immediate success of the first shirt I designed and sold, I realized that tie dying was my true calling.
I specialize in Tie-dyed and Shibori dyed clothing for adults' and children. All of the clothing that I dye is made of natural fibers, since the low impact fiber reactive dyes only work with cotton, silk, rayon, and bamboo, I have a line of organic cotton offerings, as well as some pieces that are a bamboo/cotton blend. I try to find clothing pieces that are more fashion and yoga oriented since many of my customers are interested in these items. Recently, I have designed a few pieces of clothing, and have them sewn for me.
I use a wide variety of color combinations in my work, ranging from subtle color combinations to full spectrum designs.
