She is a Latin American writer and thinker whose work is located at the intersection between fashion, feminism, aesthetics and cultural history. Her voice, deeply essayistic and critical, has renewed the thinking about fashion as a form of knowledge and expression of power. Her work combines historical perspective, the study of the 'feminine', critical theory and an intense look at the visual from the cultural point of view.
Author of Mujeres Vestidas (2017), Mujer incómoda (2021), and Mad Men (2024), Rosales has been a pioneer in the use of fashion, style and aesthetics as lenses to analyze the history of the 'feminine', the 'masculine', the philosophy of appearances, the expressions of music and culture. Her work has been published in media such as Refinery 29, Vogue Latin America, The Business of Fashion, Vestoj, BBC World, El Malpensante and The Daily Beast.
She trained as a historian at the Universidad de los Andes, studied a master's degree in journalism (La Nación + Universidad Torcuato Di Tella) and then obtained a master's degree in Fashion Studies at Parsons The New School for Design, where she received the Dean's Scholarship.
In her career she has combined teaching, disobedient academy, critical writing and sound creation: she is the voice behind the podcast Mujer Incómoda, where she fuses aesthetic sensitivity and intellectual gaze. She also made the podcast Popularmente and Nación Moda. She has been resident critic at the School of Visual Arts (New York) and creator of the first diploma in critical fashion studies in Colombia.
She is currently developing Gazing, an editorial platform and video podcast about style, culture and gaze.
