The Story of SkyyRose
Four Collections, A Bloodline, and the Heir to the Throne.
SkyyRose is more than a brand—it is a promise. To my daughter. To our city. To every soul that believes in turning pain into purpose and dreams into reality.

The Birth of the Rebrand.
SkyyRose was never just a clothing brand. It was a promise — born in Deep East Oakland, forged by a single father who refused to let his circumstances write his daughter’s story. Corey Foster named the brand after his reason for everything: his daughter, Skyy Rose.
The rebrand is the full realization of that promise. Four collections, each with its own world, its own story, its own identity — unified under one crown. Oakland-born luxury streetwear that doesn’t apologize for where it came from. It celebrates it.
Fashion was always self-expression. Growing up in Oakland’s toughest neighborhoods, what you wore said everything — who you were, where you were going, what you refused to accept. SkyyRose carries that energy into every thread, every stitch, every rose.
“I drew the first rose on a night I couldn’t afford dinner. Broke, a baby on the way, every manufacturer I’d worked with had scammed me. But I sat there sketching that script logo until 4 AM because something in me knew — if I could get this right, everything changes. Signature is that night made permanent.”
Corey Foster — Founder & CEO

The Town
Oakland. Always.
The Town never asked permission to be itself. Neither did he. Lake Merritt at golden hour, the 510 humming under everything, Mac Dre on the speakers like a saint — that’s the studio. The studio is also a laptop on a folding table at the airport lounge between shifts. Both things true. Both things the brand.

Collections with Meaning

The Origin
Signature
The first rose, the first script. Where SkyyRose began — gold-accented luxury streetwear, gender-neutral by default.

The Refusal
Black Rose
Dark, powerful, unapologetic. Silver-on-black, gothic restraint. Streetwear armor for everyone who refused to apologize first.

The Grief
Love Hurts
A collection named after grief, made to be worn anyway. Crimson and deep red, Beauty & the Beast cadence — luxury or witchcraft, take your pick.
