If you have read the small printed credits on any top end magazine fashion shoots in recent years, chances are you are in on the secret: Paula Rowan makes the gloves.
The Dublin born and based glove designer, 50, has quietly (but fiercely) acquired a nearly total monopoly on A-lister’s hands, gloving the likes of Madonna, Cher, Blake Lively, Anne Hathaway and Ariana Grande. Naomi Campbell wore a black pair on the supermodel-strewn joint September issue of British, Italian and US Vogue this year; Anok Yai has worn them to the Met Gala and Lady Gaga wore them in the House of Gucci film (before commissioning Rowan to make more for her world Chromatica Ball Tour).
