Rosie Emberson-Semesi is no stranger to the Fiji Fashion industry, having featured in almost every important fashion event in Fiji since the 1980s. Known for her work with masi and her loud bold prints which more than anything celebrates Pacific artforms, Ms Semisi-Emberson is a rarity in that while her art comes naturally to her, she has also sought and achieved formal qualifications in both apparel and textiles as well as in visual arts and fabric printing.

Within the Bure collection, Rosie has created labels such as Burekalou, Tuwawa, Isa Lewa, TuSake, Dilisi, Waikoula and Waisiliva amongst others; all names of people, places and items of cultural significance to the I Taukei forms and traditions.
