Valerie Bourdin was born in Paris. At 21 years old, she moved to Miami to pursue her first passion, fashion photography. She was able to shoot some of the best top models in the world such as Naomi Campbell and she was a model herself on catwalks all over the world.
After 6 years of working for Dolce & Gabbana, she decided to move to St. Barths. This is where she created her first fashion designs inspired greatly by the beautiful island landscape. She opened her first store to immediate success and she founded "Vanita Rosa" in 2002.
Valérie Bourdin has created the ideal resort wardrobe for any holiday occasion. With elegant outfits inspired by the bohemian-hippy chic, inimitable style, using the finest fabrics (cashmere, silk, French lace from Calais, linen), the Vanita Rosa collection is a “must-have” for fashionistas. Celebrities such as Jane Fonda and Ivana Trump love to wear the elegant and chic designs created by Vanita Rosa.
Now Vanita Rosa can be found in the most beautiful shops around the world; New York, Paris, Italy, Monaco, St. Tropez, Ibiza, Cannes, Puerto Banus, Hawaii... Over the past 10 years, Valérie has also opened her own boutiques, including one in the heart of the Golden Triangle in Paris.
