About
ROSKI YARD was founded by Freya Roski and Debbie Yard.
We are a research-led fashion practice with over twenty years of experience grounded in archival research, vintage garments, and cultural analysis. We met during our fashion studies, and from that moment our shared fascination with garments, books, runway references, and archival materials grew into a lifelong collaboration. Collecting and exploring fashion from a young age, we developed a shared passion that continues to shape everything we do today.
From this shared passion, we opened our showroom. It was a space where every piece had a story, and we could talk for hours about a single garment, tracing its references through books, runway moments, and cultural history. The showroom was deeply meaningful to us, yet we realized that to fully explore fashion with the depth, research, and visual storytelling we were passionate about, we needed a different medium. After four years running the showroom, and with years of collecting, sourcing, and researching, we returned to the heart of what drives us, exploring fashion through research, visuals, storytelling, and curated experiences. This vision became our research-led fashion practice, where we explore how fashion history shapes the present, translating deep research into interpretation, visual narratives, and tangible experiences with garments and collections.
Freya uncovers stories, researches designers, and sources rare garments and collections. She drives the research and conversations that connect archival fashion with contemporary culture.
Debbie transforms research into visual experiences curating photography, layouts, archival imagery, and editorial projects that make garments, references, and cultural stories tangible, engaging, and visually compelling.
Together, we build projects that connect the past with the present, making fashion history visible, tangible, and engaging. From wardrobe consultancy and sourcing to podcasts, exhibitions, and curated archival storytelling, ROSKI YARD is where research, narrative, and visual interpretation meet, bringing garments, references, and cultural stories to life for anyone curious enough to look.
