Designer Erica Rose Trumpower grew up in the mountains of Topanga Canyon, California. She began sculpting clay when she was five and learned to express herself with texture, form and color . . . skills that now translate into her fashion designs and other mediums.  When she was fifteen she began sewing with a needle and thread, and soon after started stitching her own clothes with her grandmother’s Singer machine. 

While studying at Brown University, Erica pushed the traditional craft of sewing into a large, site-specific fine art arena by creating an insulated freeway overpass in Providence, Rhode Island.  She sewed together vintage quilts and attached these to the chain link walls of a bridge.  The installation resembled a womb-like tunnel, addressing issues of nurture and transition. 

After school Erica returned to Los Angeles and assisted an interior designer until her sewing hobby bloomed into an internationally renowned clothing line.  The line now sells to private clients, exclusive boutiques including Fred Segal Flair, American Rag, Ships Japan and eskception Madrid, and online. 

All the garments are made with careful consideration and attention to detail in downtown LA by a talented team.

In addition to fashion and graphic design, Erica is devoted to practicing and teaching yoga, and is open to collaborating with compassionate, creative and proactive people. She is most interested in design that contributes to social and environmental change which highlights the beauty in everyday experience.
