Fashion today in Jamaica is considered to be “whatever that is trending”, and very few dares to be different, to walk amongst the sheep as the shepherd.
Emerging Fashion Designer and Fashion Illustrator Kaydeen Dyrumple has created a style to call her own.

Her style is also influenced by the Elizabethan era complimented with whimsical undertones.
Throughout her college life she explored a lot with fabric manipulation techniques; transforming flat one-dimensional surfaces into complex multifaceted planes that later became a signature in her creations.
Kaydeen works as a sole designer developing her brand Rumple HouseTM at her own studio where nothing but the finest is produced unlike other fashion designers of her age. She pays keen attention to detailing and recommends swatches of fabric selection that suits her clients well.
