“I’ll focus on one piece at a time and perfect it from head to toe,” she said.
Rolt, who launched her after-five and eveningwear label four years ago, said she hoped the New York Fashion Week opportunity would help her expand overseas.
“I’m a summer designer more than winter so I could have a summer market all year round,” she said.
In the meantime, Rolt is preparing to host a Style Series at Atlas Pearls and Perfumes, Claremont on Thursday, February 18.

“Plunging necklines are absolutely perfect at making your pearls and jewellery standout.
“Pearls are very feminine. I love the versatility of pearls; they can be both classic but edgy.”
