How Beauty by Rosh Took Its Place on a Global Runway

FROM SRI LANKA TO AUSTRALIA TO LONDON FASHION WEEK

- BY RIHAAB MOWLANA

Careers in beauty rarely move in straight lines. They expand through trial, repetition, pauses, recalibration, and moments that only make sense in hindsight. This season, Beauty by Rosh will partner with designers on the main schedule at London Fashion Week, a development that reflects not a sudden breakthrough but the accumulation of years spent building credibility across borders.

London Fashion Week is one of four events that continue to define the industry's global hierarchy. Paris, Milan, New York, and London operate as tightly held ecosystems, where access is regulated, and beauty partnerships tend to circulate among a small number of established global brands. For an Australian-Sri Lankan beauty brand, founded by a Sri Lankan-born entrepreneur, to enter this space is unusual. For that entry to be earned without institutional backing or celebrity leverage is rarer still.

Beauty by Rosh was founded by Rosh, who was born and educated in Sri Lanka before migrating to Australia in 2018. Long before the brand existed as a product line, it existed as an online platform. In 2016, Rosh began creating beauty content under the name Beauty by Rosh, building an audience through consistency rather than scale. At the time, the content was filmed from her parents' home, shaped by curiosity, experimentation, and a growing understanding of how underrepresented brown skin remained within mainstream beauty narratives.
