Career

Rockmore has worked in fashion her entire professional life, first as a fashion designer for 20 years before she transitioned into jewelry design. [2] [1] She characterized her style as eclectic and a mix of Iris Apfel and Carrie Bradshaw. [1] She has been noted for her perspective as a woman over fifty. [3]

After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic she made fashion-related YouTube videos to entertain friends sheltering in place. [1] Her profile grew tremendously when she created a TikTok at the encouragement of her daughter, Ivy. [1] She amassed 540,000 followers after four months on the platform. [4] Her videos share style tips and outfit ideas, usually featuring clothing from Rockmore's closet. [4] Carina Chocano described the effect of the videos in The New York Times , "those of us unable to “shop” our closets as though they were luxury stores can do so vicariously in Rockmore’s. Her wardrobe also has the other appeal of a museum: it feels archival, historical, not amassed but curated." [3]

In May 2022, she partnered with Amazon's The Drop to design and release an online collection, Carla Rockmore x The Drop. [5] She independently released a capsule collection in May 2023. [6]

Personal life

Rockmore was born in Montreal, Quebec. [6]

Rockmore is married. [7] She, her husband, and their two children have lived in Dallas since 2012. [6] [1] Rockmore has used her platform to create videos with her daughter, Ivy, to share information about Ivy's gender transition. [1]
