Glauca Rossi: Founder

Colour, light, shapes – the desire to 
create beauty from blank canvas

Glauca Rossi had a carefree youth. Much of it was spent travelling the world. It was on her travels she absorbed the exotic sights of different cultures. This was to become an influence that's at the core of her work. Inspired by these many impressions of the world, the direction for her life became clear. She wanted to live a creative life in the spirit of that journey. That's when she developed a form of creative expression through the medium of makeup.

Glauca developed an approach to makeup that made a significant impression in the fashion industry. Her talent was quickly spotted and the impact of her approach helped her stand out in from the crowd. Because of this she made an early breakthrough into the fashion world as she gained recognition as a rising star.

She went on to build an impressive portfolio. Her work  regularly appeared in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, as well as working with other leading lights in the industry.

Photographers such as Norman Parkinson, Lord Snowdon and Bruce Weber used her for their shoots. She worked with the fashion designers Valentino and David and Elizabeth Emanuel. Rock stars, supermodels and even royalty called on her services.

In 1989, seeking a new challenge, Glauca opened The Glauca Rossi School of Makeup. The school has taught students from around the world. Many global superstars began their careers at the school (See gallery)
