Biography
At the age of 26, her fashion collection was first shown during London Fashion Week and then went on to show in the salons of Pret-a-Porter (Paris), Atmosphere (Paris) and The Train (New York and Japan).
Morgan-Jones’ style is inspired by film noir glamour and 1960’s London and has been described as ‘Timeless, bohemian-exotic’ and a ‘21st Century Biba, Rock n Roll styling’.
ROMP was successful in selling worldwide as a natural products brand, selling leather, sheepskin and fur clothing. In 2007 ROMP teamed up with a European tannery and produced a completely organic collection of Soil Association Certified Organic leather and denim clothing and accessories. Morgan-Jones became an expert in the design and production of natural products, working with organic pioneer Greg Sturmer on the development of the Certified Organic Collection.[2]
ROMP was the subject of a BBC world documentary [3] and Morgan-Jones’ designs have been featured in magazines such as Elle, Vogue, Marie Claire and Condé Nast Traveller.
Her designs have since been commissioned by Hollywood shows such as American Idol and Melrose Place and have been featured on the red carpet and on stage for shows such as the MTV Video Music Awards.
ROMP opened its first USA boutique in 2008 on West 3rd Street, Los Angeles and is currently relocating to new US premises. In 2010, Nina Morgan-Jones will launch her new collection for worldwide wholesale under the label Romp London. She currently lives between London and the USA, working on her own Romp London label and as a freelance design consultant.[4]
