rossi & BLAKe
When we spoke to the two, they
just came back from a shoot.
ROSSI & BLAKE is a styling
and photography agency created
by two good friends: Dorian
and Rose. They like to work in
a clean, aesthetic and stylish
manner. They love to tell stories
in every single image they make.
With clients such as Metromode,
Marie Claire & Womens Health,
they have enough work on their
hands. But if they could wish
for more they’d certainly wish
for brands like Viktor&Rolf and
COS. They would also love to
work with magazines like Italian
Vogue. Dorian and Rose test
their limits by seeing just how far
they can incorporate their style
into an assignment of a client.
Their best friends would describe
them as creatives who are very
chaotic but yet spontaneous and
real go-getters. They learnt a lot
and found just the right balance
in making their costumers as
well as themselves happy: “we’re
diverse in delivering work but
sometimes clients want an exact
trend or typo that is often seen,
specifically because it is trendy.
Then we try to go along with
those wishes!”
What did you learn at Willem de
Kooning University?
If you ever hope to run into this
creative duo, try the ALOHA
bar in Rotterdam. They can also
be found lunching at Hutspot
in Amsterdam. Coffee and
Coconuts understands our need
for good coffee.
Any more inspiring words for us
and our readers?
Make sure you develop your own
style. Everyone copies. Really try
and discover what it is that makes
you stand out from all the others,
and own that.
“Discovering your self as a unique
human being.”
“You have to do it alone because
nobody else is going to do it for
you.”
“Deadlines will sure as hell be
deadlines.”
When was the last time you had
goosebumps?
When agencies from New York
discovered our work on Instagram
and appreciated what we did.
Also when a client is completely
satisfied with a project we did,
because we gave them everything
we had and showed them what we
had in store. We work really hard
so that we can keep doing what we
love.
#lifegoals?
Becoming a little more famous
within the right group of people
and brands. As long as we can do
what we do we’re very happy, I
know this might sound cliché, but
it’s definitely the truth.
