Aariana Rose

Aariana Rose Philip refuses to be defined. Hailing from The Bronx by way of the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda, Aariana Rose was discovered through her social media after drawing attention to the lack of representation of Black trans women within the fashion industry let alone anyone with a disability. Represented by Supreme New York, she has emerged as a trailblazer, determined to create greater visibility for the communities she represents.

With a steadfast, sincere approach to her career, Aariana Rose is driven by the lack of disability representation in the media, particularly within the fashion and beauty industries. From the very beginning, she has been a catalyst for change, openly speaking about her experiences navigating both racism and ableism in fashion. She has actively worked toward a more inclusive industry through her editorial work with Vogue, i-D, Dazed, Interview, Teen Vogue, Allure, W, and ELLE. Aariana Rose was also the subject of a profile in The New York Times, which hailed her career as a sign of a more diverse and representative fashion industry. Vogue.com also featured and photographed Aariana Rose alongside her friend, Chella Man, in a conversation about the lack of disabled representation in fashion.

In 2026, Aariana Rose made history as the first wheelchair user ever to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala, marking a watershed moment for disability representation on one of fashion's most celebrated stages. Her appearance further cemented her status as one of the industry's leading advocates for inclusion and accessibility.

Aariana Rose has graced the covers of PAPER magazine, where she was interviewed by the iconic Naomi Campbell, as well as the September issue of S Moda for El País. She has also covered V Magazine, Numéro, and Metal Magazine. Renowned editor Katie Grand selected Aariana Rose for the cover of her magazine Perfect. This all led to one of her most celebrated covers yet: British Vogue. Editor Edward Enninful chose Aariana Rose as one of the cover stars for the May 2023 issue, which centered on the dynamic reframing of fashion as we know it.

Aariana Rose has fronted campaigns for Sephora and Dove's United We Stand campaign, celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and the progress made since the Stonewall uprising. She also starred in Miley Cyrus' hit music video "Mother's Daughter," which has amassed over 100 million views, and made history as the sole face of a Moschino campaign.

Aariana Rose has appeared in the pages of nearly every global edition of Vogue, collaborating with acclaimed photographers including Tyler Mitchell, Tim Walker, Charlotte Wales, Luigi & Iango, and Ethan James Green. She made her television debut on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and debuted on the runway for Willie Norris Workshop before modeling exclusively for Collina Strada's digital runway presentation and lookbook.
