THE FOUNDER’S STORY
I am Kumsal.
I grew up in Izmir, surrounded by the salt breeze of the sea.
From an early age, I fell under the spell of the stage and began discovering myself through dance and costume. To dance was to feel grace and discipline in every part of me.
The lightness of my steps, the movement of my body, the way fabrics floated over me… Everything belonged to one whole. Whenever I surrendered to the rhythm of salsa, I found myself adding my own touch to costume fabrics and searching for a way to make a difference.
Years passed. The stages changed, but my pursuit of grace never left me. Until one night, when I found myself on an entirely different stage in a dream…
There was a woman in that dream. She was powerful yet delicate, confident yet graceful. The corset she wore seemed to be part of her; it embraced her body, gave her confidence and brought dignity to her posture. Its close shape reminded me of the Kumsal I had been while dancing ballet. In that moment, a fire awakened in me.
When I woke, I wanted that spark to become a dream I could build. The woman I imagined should exist not only in my dreams, but in real life.
That is how Roses On Ice was born… A label where grace, strength and delicacy can be found in every detail.
I wanted every woman to feel in daily life the same lightness and freedom I felt while dancing. I wanted the stage to feel infinite for women.
Sometimes the greatest dreams are born from the deepest ones. Roses On Ice is my dream made real. And now, I invite you to become part of its story.
