Ontavia Roulette is the Woman of Your Dreams

Words By Robert Frezza

Ontavia Roulette was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and attended Cleveland School of Art and picked up Opera vocal lessons – then, her life took a turn for her love of fashion.

Roulette’s fierce goals and dreams in fashion sparked her to launch her fashion house in 2015. Roulette independently debuted her first collection “Nymphs of the Forest” at NYFW 2015.

In 2019, the “Before the Death of a Child’s Imagination” line emerged onto NYFW and her new fragrance “Moon Water” followed that November.

This year Roulette presented her “Woman of My Dreams” line, opened her showroom, and releases her first book “Q1: The Portfolio” in November 2021. Her love for the arts proved to be fruitful with her continued love of art, photography, painting, opera music, and fashion.

Roulette’s elegant fashion line is sleek and comfortable. Her line gathers influences from all walks of life including a black tapered kimono, leopard print shirt with a short-hemmed jacket and flowing white skirt, and a gown elegant for evening wear. Roulette’s unforgettable finale was a white wedding gown that embraced a vintage look but fresh floral patterns running down the side of the dress with a long white veil. Roulette has a keen eye for today’s woman. Her fashion sense continues to evolve and evolve it will.
