Flare Magazine, September 2008

"The Toronto designer (and former FLARE intern) has added fashion fuel to the pale fire by returning to an all-white palette for the season (Rowe switches between head to toe looks in black for fall and white for spring) and from first glance, is a perfectly chic way to step into the light. — Aya McMillan"

Ashley Rowe's black statement was very, very strong,"...She is not afraid to say, 'This is who I am.' I loved the oversized silhouette with the very lean, and I think it's speaking to modern androgyny." - barbara atkin




Torontoist, March 26 2008

"Rowe showed her fall line—all black, naturally—to a tent-weary crowd of fashion types at Brassai last week. Inspired by equal parts English style ("very mix-and-match, very fashion-forward," Rowe says) and American rock and roll ("I could definitely see Lenny Kravitz wearing my skinny leather pants"), the collection plays well as a working girl's day-to-night wardrobe." - Sarah Nicole Prickett

"With such attention to detail and quality, it's no wonder she's already receiving rave reviews (and is a finalist in the Toronto Fashion Incubator's New Labels competition). We have no doubt she'll be showing on the runway in the near future, the designer just wanted to cover a few collections before crossing onto the catwalk." - Sweetspot.ca

"Ashley Rowe of miss rowe is among designers showing at fashion week events." - T.O Star




NOW Magazine | Life & Style, March 2008

"Her all-black fall line also includes baggy pleated trousers and jackets with oversized lapels, proving that sharp fit and silhouette are a must for any monochromatic palette. The collection is Rowe’s entry in this year’s Toronto Fashion Incubator New Labels competition, and we’re betting judges are easily lured to her dark side." - Andrew Sardone

The Globe and Mail, February 2008

"Here in Canada, new designer Ashley Rowe, who works under the label Miss Rowe, offers this voluminous puffy dress. Paired with sheer canary knee-highs and Marc Jacobs sky-blue sandals, it surfs the body; a cinch belt at the waist is the way to go if it feels too muumuu."

"All white was all right for Miss Rowe, designed by former Holt Renfrew staffer Ashley Rowe - in fact, it was the lack of a high-quality, fashion-forward yet affordable blouse for her HR interview that lead to the line's creation,. Silk and Egyptian cotton separates in ivory and cream are right on the money for spring" - Andrea Macko
