Rory Beca OBSESSION

About Rory Beca...
Since childhood, Rory Beca has had a passion for dressing up. Her love of clothing fueled an insatiable curiosity to learn about cut, color, and fabric, and after a summer stint at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London, Beca realized that fashion was her true calling. After completing design school in Boston, she moved to LA and began working with noted stylist and designer Deb McGuire, who began to use Beca’s designs on TV shows like Friends and Crossing Jordan. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Who Wears It...
She’s a woman who appreciates color and quality, and isn’t afraid to be noticed when she walks into a room. She’s as versatile as the clothes and is outgoing and loves to travel. She likes being out and busy, but loves to relax at home. Celebrity fans include Nicole Richie, Mary J. Blige, Maria Bello, Sophia Bush, Eva Longoria Parker, Blake Lively, and Lindsey Lohan.
