Meryll Rogge: Emotion You Can Wear
Who is Meryll Rogge? If you don’t know yet, you will. A Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp alum, she cut her teeth at Marc Jacobs in New York and then spent years shaping the womenswear vision at Dries Van Noten. Since launching her label in 2019, Rogge has emerged as one of Belgian fashion’s most thoughtful provocateurs – not with volume, but with precision.
Her work moves quietly, but deliberately. There’s structure in the seams, softness in the silhouettes, and a gender-fluid sensibility that never feels performative. She understands restraint. But she also understands feeling. That duality, that tension – is where her clothes live.
The fashion world has noticed. Rogge was a semi-finalist in the 2022 LVMH Prize, has twice been nominated for the ANDAM Grand Prize, and in 2024 was crowned Designer of the Year at the Belgian Fashion Awards. But it’s not about collecting accolades – it’s about building a language. One that’s personal, quiet, and exact.
Spring/Summer 2025 is Rogge at her most intimate. Inspired by her own wedding, the collection turns memory into texture: upcycled denim, satin silk, gentle florals. There’s emotion stitched into every panel – never overly sentimental, but deeply considered. You can sense the narrative without needing it explained.
Then she flips the mood. Fall/Winter 2025 is set in a fictional countryside mansion during a pajama party. Ruffled skirts meet oversized sweatshirts. Shirts are layered like secrets. There’s levity, yes – but also a kind of controlled chaos. It’s fantasy, grounded in fabric.
Meryll Rogge is part of a growing wave of designers reshaping what luxury can feel like: slower, sharper, less performative, more emotional. She doesn’t just design clothing. She designs feeling – with tailoring as her language, and storytelling as her signature.
